Anthropometric Relationships of Body and Body Segment Moments of Inertia
Abstract
This report documents the results of a study aimed at demonstrating that mass distribution properties of the human body and its segments can be predicted from anthropometric dimensions. Investigators combined stereophotometric and anthropometric techniques to measure 31 male subjects. Bodies were photographically segmented into 24 parts and their volume, centers of volume and principal moments of inertia established stereometrically. Principal moments were measured about three principal axes of inertia which were established with reference to anatomical axis systems based on easily located body landmarks. Seventy-five body size variables were measured anthropometrically and an additional 10 dimensions were derived from the measured variables. Multiple regression equations were devised for the total body and for each segment using the most highly correlated variables on each segment, and stature and weight for determining volume and principal moments of inertia. Included is a brief review of the literature with emphasis on earlier studies by authors which provide the rationale for the reliability of the stereophotometric method in determining mass distribution properties of living subjects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
