Calculating angles

**Roo** · 04-23-2007, 07:07 AM

Hi

I was wondering if anyone here may be able to help me, im doing my dissertation on kinematic of horses and I need to work out the angles of different joints. I have coordinates for markers on the horses leg as it moves and I have no idea on how to use this data to get the joint angles.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated

thanks Roo
