“…It is well known that the OMC measurement depends on the selected marker set, primarily due to skin movement artefacts [7,20,23] and that the pattern of the artefact is dependent on the task and joint angle, and movement speed, whereby the artefact increases with faster movement [23]. A previous study also found statistically significant differences in measured ROM between four different marker sets for the wrist [24], but only one of them deviated to a similar extent. Comparison with an imaging method would certainly be interesting to better understand the influence of marker or sensor locations and skin motion artefacts on the motion analysis of the wrist.…”

Background: This study investigates the dart-throwing motion (DTM) by comparing an inertial measurement unit-based system previously validated for basic motion tasks with an optoelectronic motion capture system. The DTM is interesting as wrist movement during many activities of daily living occur in this movement plane, but the complex movement is difficult to assess clinically. Methods: Ten healthy subjects were recorded while performing the DTM with their right wrist using inertial sensors and skin markers. Maximum range of motion obtained by the different systems and the mean absolute difference were calculated. Results: In the flexion–extension plane, both systems calculated a range of motion of 100° with mean absolute differences of 8°, while in the radial–ulnar deviation plane, a mean absolute difference of 17° and range of motion values of 48° for the optoelectronic system and 59° for the inertial measurement units were found. Conclusions: This study shows the challenge of comparing results of different kinematic motion capture systems for complex movements while also highlighting inertial measurement units as promising for future clinical application in dynamic and coupled wrist movements. Possible sources of error and solutions are discussed.

“…The plate was placed on the proximal part of the forearm. This configuration allowed us to account for wrist angles (flexion/extension and adduction/abduction), as well as the pronation–supination of the upper limb [ 7 ]. Motion Inspector ® software (v1.92) was used to determine the quaternions representing the orientation of each of the two segments in the OMCS reference frame.…”

“…Three non-collinear markers are needed to determine the orientation of a segment in space. Consequently, to determine wrist kinematics, an OMCS records the movements of reflective markers attached to a hand, a forearm, and possibly the upper arm to determine the orientation of these segments and calculate joint angles [ 7 ]. During the evaluation of wrist kinematics, especially in a professional context, problems frequently arise when it comes to detecting the markers that can be occluded, whether by other body parts or nearby objects.…”

Optical Motion Capture Systems (OMCSs) are considered the gold standard for kinematic measurement of human movements. However, in situations such as measuring wrist kinematics during a hairdressing activity, markers can be obscured, resulting in a loss of data. Other measurement methods based on non-optical data can be considered, such as magneto-inertial measurement units (MIMUs). Their accuracy is generally lower than that of an OMCS. In this context, it may be worth considering a hybrid system [MIMU + OMCS] to take advantage of OMCS accuracy while limiting occultation problems. The aim of this work was (1) to propose a methodology for coupling a low-cost MIMU (BNO055) to an OMCS in order to evaluate wrist kinematics, and then (2) to evaluate the accuracy of this hybrid system [MIMU + OMCS] during a simple hairdressing gesture. During hair cutting gestures, the root mean square error compared with the OMCS was 4.53° (1.45°) for flexion/extension, 5.07° (1.30°) for adduction/abduction, and 3.65° (1.19°) for pronation/supination. During combing gestures, they were significantly higher, but remained below 10°. In conclusion, this system allows for maintaining wrist kinematics in case of the loss of hand markers while preserving an acceptable level of precision (<10°) for ergonomic measurement or entertainment purposes.
