Kutschke, Michael | Hip joint center differences between dual fluoroscopy, functional hip, and coda - establishing a reference standard | Measurements of joint angles, moments, and forces may be highly sensitive to positional changes in the center of a joint. Due to its deep location, the human hip joint center (HJC) can be difficult to determine. Previous studies have defined the HJC relative to external landmarks using infrared moti... | Hip joint; Hip joint center | 2015-05 |
