READ ME File For 'Quantifying Soft Tissue Artefacts and Imaging Variability in Motion Capture of the Fingers' Dataset DOI: 10.5258/SOTON/D1237 ReadMe Author: Alex Dickinson, University of Southampton [ORCID- 0000-0002-9647-1944] This dataset supports the publication: AUTHORS- Cheryl Metcalf, Christopher Phillips, Alexander Forrester, Jan Glodowski, Kara Simpson, Chris Everitt, Angela Darekar, Leonard King, David Warwick, Alexander Dickinson TITLE- Quantifying Soft Tissue Artefacts and Imaging Variability in Motion Capture of the Fingers JOURNAL- ANNALS OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING PAPER DOI- 10.1007/s10439-020-02476-2 This dataset contains: Excel and .csv sheets containing the raw data behind the figures in the linked journal paper. The keys for the Excel file and separate .csv sheets are as follows: - Figure 3 (and Table 1): Raw data for directional and resultant soft tissue artefact movements at different PIP and DIP joint angles for all participants (except for 6 DIP, where markers were occluded). - Figure 4 (and Table 2): Raw data for Marker- and CT-based PIP and DIP joint angles and angle changes for all participants (except for 6 DIP, where markers were occluded), raw and after correction of soft tissue artefact displacements. - Figure 6 (and Table 3): Raw time-series data for joint angles at the PIP and DIP pseudo-joints on the wand under translation and rotation movement trials.
