  • RE: Body Segment Parameters in Children

    In my locomotion analysis software, I use the equations of Jensen from
    the Journal of Biomechanics:
    Changes in segment inertia proportions between 4 and 20 years
    v.22(6/7) p.529-36 1989
    These assume symmetry of the segments about the long axis. There are some
    other quirks which I cannot remember right now. If you are interested,
    take a look at the ANZ software package archived at BIOMCH-L to see how I
    coded the equations (in FORTRAN). The subroutines for inertia params are
    in the file segment.for and are called something like CalcFullBodyMassInteria
    or some such.
