  18. Anthropometry & Biomechanics • In biomechanics the human body is considered to be a system of links with each link of known physical size and form. • Links are defined as…

  19. Locating Centers of rotation • Method involves… • Bony landmarks are highly correlated with link lengths

  20. Body Segment Volume and Weight • Body segment mass and volume are related by the density of the segment. • D = M/V = (W/g)/V

  21. Body Segment Center of Mass • Center of mass is that point where if the segment is suspended that the gravitational effect is equal. It is the location where the gravitational effect can be considered to act. • Location methods…

  22. Inertia Properties • Rotational inertia • Radius of gyration

  23. Measuring Joint Motion • Difficulties and descriptive requirements

  24. Tools • Goniometers • Flexometer/ Inclinometer • Photo or video methods Image from: http://www.rehaboutlet.com/goniometers.htm
