The purpose of this research is visualizing the motion of bones which we can only make diagnoses today by several values. Conventional methods have several problems. The main problem is that it is difficult for everyone to understand clearly by only these values. We use infrared cameras and Point Cluster Technique (PCT), and plot their data on the computer. We show the three dimensional graphics animation of the bones by using their data. Our system proposes visualizing the precise motion as three dimensional graphics animations using a bone model of the lower leg and makes people who are specialist and non-specialist alike understand motions of bones visually and easily.
