abstract = "In this paper we propose a simple model for the coupling
behavior of the human spine for an inverse kinematics
framework. Our spine model exhibits anatomically
correct motions of the vertebrae of virtual mannequins
by coupling standard swing and revolute joint
models. The adjustement of the joints is made with
several simple (in)equality constraints, resulting in a
reduction of the solution space dimensionality for the
inverse kinematics solver. By reducing the solution
space dimensionality to feasible spine shapes, we prevent
the inverse kinematics algorithm from providing
infeasible postures for the spine. In this paper, we
exploit how to apply these simple constraints to the
human spine by a strict decoupling of the swing and
torsion motion of the vertebrae. We demonstrate the
validity of our approach on various experiments."
