A reproducible representation of healthy tibiofemoral kinematics during stair descent using REFRAME – part I: REFRAME foundations and validation by Ariana Ortigas-Vásquez, William R. Taylor, Barbara Postolka, Pascal Schütz, Allan Maas, Matthias Woiczinski, Thomas M. Grupp, Adrian Sauer

“…Here, building on previous work that introduced a frame orientation optimisation method and demonstrated its potential to induce convergence towards a consistent kinematic signal, we present the REference FRame Alignment MEthod (REFRAME) that addresses both rotational and translational kinematics, is validated here for a healthy tibiofemoral joint, and allows flexible selection of optimisation criteria to fittingly address specific research questions. While not claiming to improve the accuracy of joint kinematics or reference frame axes, REFRAME does enable a representation of knee kinematic signals that accounts for differences in local frames (regardless of how these differences were introduced, e.g. anatomical heterogeneity, use of different data capture modalities or joint axis approaches, intra- and inter-rater reliability, etc.), as evidenced by peak root-mean-square errors of 0.24° ± 0.17° and 0.03 mm ± 0.01 mm after its implementation. …”
