The effect of model complexity on the human center of mass estimation using the statically equivalent serial chain technique.

ABSTRACT: Estimating the human center of mass (CoM) has long been recognized as a highly complex process. A relatively recent and noteworthy technique for CoM estimation that has gained popularity is the statically equivalent serial chain (SESC). This technique employs a remodeling of the human skeleton as a serial chain where the end effector represents the CoM location. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the impact of model complexity on the estimation capability of the SESC technique. To achieve this, we designed and rigorously assessed four distinct models with varying complexities against the static center of pressure (CoP) as reference, by quantifying both the root-mean-square (RMS) and correlation metrics. In addition, the Bland-Altman analysis was utilized to quantify the agreement between
