Dear all,
I am a medical doctor stuck with a mathematics problem. I have taken a project to map the 3D movement of a particular bone and describe its motion. My maths knowledge is a bit lacking. However using logic I felt that I would need to track 3 constant markers on the particular bone and use its coordinates at different points in time to map motion.
by using trilateration I managed to map the coordinates at different times.
However I am still stuck and unsure as to how to accurately describe how the bone
1. translates
2. rotates around the 3 axis
how would a physicist/engineer or mathematicians approach such a problem?
your help is much appreciated.
