Measurement of Mass Distribution Parameters of Anatomical Segments,

Abstract

Procedures to determine the center of mass and the moments of inertia in three dimensions of previously defined anatomical segments are presented. As an illustration, these procedures are applied to the human head and head-and- neck. The results of measurements made on six human heads and three head-and- necks are presented and discussed.
