Objective
. Introduction The amount of people suffering from different musculo-skeletal complaints of the back and lower body, such as back pain and knee-problems, is huge. Orthopaedic physicians and physiotherapists are required to analyse a variety of movements to diagnose pathological or abnormal changes. At present, no equipment is available to carry out 4D surface measurements to analyse clinical functional parameters of the lower body. Therefore the purpose of the project is to develop and construct a low cost system able to reconstruct musculo-skeletal movements based on scanned volumes of the lower body. Materials and Methods: The innovation of this project will be a full volumetric and musculo-skeletal analysis of movements. Raster line triangulation combined with fast laser-based pattern projection will be used as the basic technique to record a part of the lower body in 4D (3D + time). As the equipment only processes (dynamical) surface information, anatomical and physiological models, able to reconstruct the musculo-skeletal system of the scanned body parts, have to be developed. Conclusion: The main advantages of the project output are the equipment's ability to reconstruct kinematics, kinetics and dynamics of the musculo-skeletal system of the lower body, without the use of potentially harmful and/or relatively expensive equipment, as well as its ability to indicate and quantify pathological changes or abnormalities, both at an early stage and in connection with diagnosis. Additionally, basic clinical parameters will be covered as well: volumetric analysis (volume differences, areas, distances, angels, ...) as well as """"standard""""
