    Abstract: A method for locating a center of rotation of an articulated joint connecting two bones or set of bones of an upper or lower limb of a user, including performing a series of repetitive movements of sweeping one of the bones or set of bones around the joint, and simultaneously acquiring 3D positions of the bone or set of bones during said series, thereby obtaining a 3D cloud of points, computing a point referred to as center point, said center point being a searching point of the 3D searching space for which the standard deviation is the lowest considering the set of distances between the searching point and each point of the 3D cloud of points, transforming the 3D cloud of points into a plane, projecting the center point on said plane, thereby obtaining the center of rotation of the joint.
