Determination of the Moments of Inertia of the Human Body and Its Limbs

The book presents a detailed exploration of the pendulum method used to measure the moments and radii of inertia of the human body and its segments across various axes. It establishes relationships between the centers of inertia and the physical dimensions of body parts, contributing foundational data for the authors' subsequent work on human gait analysis. The findings have significant implications for understanding the mechanics of human movement, making this research essential for ongoing studies in biomechanics and related fields.
