Alternative movement techniques identification is primordial in many studies of biology, medicine and ergonomics. Few studies in literature propose quantitative techniques to achieve this purpose. Park et al. [ W. Park, B.J. Martin, S. Choe, D.B. Chaffin, M.P. Reed, "Representing and identifying alternative movement techniques for goal-directed manual tasks", Journal of Biomechanics, vol. 38 , 2005, pp. 519-527] proposed a biomechanical index based technique named JCV. This method finds its limits when dealing with three-dimensional complex movements. In the present study we propose a modification of this method so that it will be applied to complex movements. We consider a non-habitual end effector (Midpoint between Hips). We obtain other indices, 3BJCV, to which a non-supervised clustering technique is applied. We have applied our method to the ingress movements of 37 young and elderly subjects with or without prosthesis entering in a minivan vehicle. Our method allows the identification of the two big classes of ingress movements observed by Ait El Menceur et al. [M-O. Ait El Menceur, P. Pudlo, P. Gorce, A. Thévenon, and F-X, Lepoutre, "Alternative Movement Identification in the Automobile Ingress and Egress for Young and Elderly Population with or without Prostheses", International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, vol. 38, 2008, pp. 1078-1087].
