Abstract

Knowledge of the mass distribution parameters of the human body is essential for the understanding of human kinetics. A significant problem has been the development of a convenient and accurate method for measuring these parameters on the living. This paper reports on two studies undertaken: (1) to establish the principal moments of inertia of the body and body segments; and (2) to validate a stereo-metric technique for assessing mass distribution parameters of the living human body.
