Greetings! I would like to thank the following people for responding to my
earlier post concerning research addressing pediatric body segment
parameters (see original post below):

gyration):

I've been working with children for quite a few years now in our Bone
Research Laboratory and Biomechanics Laboratory and have always used
Jensen's photogrammetry based regression equations to estimate pediatric
body segment parameters (4).
For those of you who work with children regularly, what methods do you use
to estimate pediatric body segment parameters in gait labs and pediatric
clinics/children's hospitals?
Does anyone know of other efforts to quantify/study pediatric body segment
parameters other than the following research?

body types using a photogrammetric method. J Biomech 11(8-9):349-58.

moments of inertia of children. Med Sci Sports Exerc 13(4):238-42.
