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

This is another classic contribution by Braune and Fischer to the field of biomechanics. The pendulum method was employed to ascertain ac­ curately the moments and radii of inertia of the human body and its different parts about all axes - transverse, oblique or longitudinal. This elegant method is described in detail, together with the results. Relations were found between the centres of inertia ...
