Segment inertial properties of chinese adults determined from magnetic resonance imaging

CLIN BIOMECH , 2000, vol. 15, n° 8, p. 559-566 Doc n°: 97150 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : DF4 - ANTHROPOMETRIE Magnetic resonance images were scanned at a 20 mm interval from eight males aged 26 (SD 4) years. Tissues were differentiated and verified using adequate intensity thresholds on each slice, and the segmental volume and mass were integrated by slices. The moments of inertia for each segment were then determined about the anatomical axes using the parallel axis theorem. Biomechanical modeling of the human body requires accurate prediction of body segment parameters that include measures of volume, mass, center of mass and moments of inertia. This study suggests the need to estimate the inertial properties of segments from the Chinese population. Application of the data may improve the simulation of the task of manual materials handling for chinese laborers in the future studies. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2000213075 |
