According to the difficulty of marker based motion reconstruction of human torso movements a reduced kinematic formulation of the human spine is introduced, which describes the movement of the first thoracic vertebra in relation to the pelvis. The formulation is for implementation in a multibody model of the human body. As a result the formulation offers convenience in marker based motion capture and motion reconstruction via an optimization based kinematic approach and provides human‐like motion characteristics of torso motion.
