1
Q
What are kinematic vs kinetic parameters in biomechanics
A
Kinematic parameters describe motion (e.g. joint angles, displacement)
Kinetic parameters describe forces and moments (e.g. ground reaction force, joint torque)
2
Q
Why is 3D motion capture gold standard?
A
It captures motion in all planes simultaneously, provides accurate joint kinematics, but is costly and less feasible outdoors.
3
Q
What’s a major disadvantage of traditional video analysis?
A
It suffers from parallax error and cannot capture off-plane motion effectively
