Automatical embedding of bone coordinate systems
Biomechanical
measurements based on computational 3D reconstructions
of original movement rely on the precise and repeatable
implementation of bone coordinate systems. Therefore we
are looking
into establishing these coordinate systems on the basis
of mathematical principles with unequivocal outcome
rather than manually picked anatomical landmarks.

Validation of non-invasive tracking methods
We are looking into the matter of accuracy with which different non‑invasive tracking methods in biplane fluoroscopy work for the
equine distal extremity.
