Motion capture (Vicon) - force plate - inverse dynamics - wobbling mass model

For the lecture multiperspective movement analysis we recorded motion capture data using a Vicon system simultaneously with force plate data to calculate inverse dynamics of the lower limb in Matlab. We extended this with a wobbling mass model in Simulink.

For the lecture, we carried out a drop jump:

In the project, we extended this with a more detailed comparison of a squat jump vs. a countermovement jump.

To run, simply execute the Matlab files 'Vicon_inverseDynamics.m' and/or 'inverseDynamics_comparison_SQ_CM.m'
