Cover Story: The assessment of shoulder kinematics and kinetics is commonly undertaken using rigid-body models and stereophotogrammetric measurements of skin-mounted marker trajectories. This paper uses a Monte Carlo approach to quantify the effect of the inter-operator uncertainty on the skin marker position as well as the artifact movement between the skin and the underlying bones occurring during exercise on shoulder kinematics and kinetics calculations. Our results reported that computed kinetics is four times more sensitive to marker errors than kinematics. Moreover, to limit shoulder kinematic and kinetic errors, one should prioritize reducing skin artifacts as they contribute to twice as much error as marker misplacements do. View this paper
