Table 4:
Mesh sensitivity analysis. The bone mesh edge lengths were decreased by 50% (higher resolution model) and increased by 50% (lower resolution model). Coordinate systems determined using the higher and lower resolution models were compared to the original models using System 2 and System 3. The average and standard deviation (SD) of the Euler angles between the original model and new models are provided.
