The choice of hip regression equations has small effect on kinematic and kinetic outputs of the conventional gait model

摘要

The hip joint centre (HJC) regression equations used by the Conventional Gait Model (CGM) [1] has been shown to provide inadequate results [2]. The location of the HJC has benefited from a large research effort in recent years, and new regression equations have been proposed [3,4]. Although the accuracy of the equations has been validated against medical imaging, the effects the new equations may have on kinematic and kinetic outputs are relatively unknown.
