  • Summary of Replies to Pediatric Body Segment Parameters

    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):

    Ian Harris Sujae - Nanyang Technological University of Singapore
    Maria Lebiedowska - NIH (USA)
    Sheila Purkiss - Sick Kids (CANADA) (http://www.sickkids.ca/)
    Corey Scholes - Queensland University of Technology (AUS)
    Mark Jaffrey - CBRN Defence Centre - (AUS)

    Below is a current list of papers specifically addressing issues related to
    pediatric body segment parameters (segment inertia, mass, COM, radius of
    gyration):

    cadaver-based estimates. Gait Posture. 19, 133-40.

    segment parameter research: http://www.dh.aist.go.jp/bodyDB/m/index-e.html

    Thank you again to those who responded to my post. I hope to be able to
    contribute to the above list of references in the near future.

    ORIGINAL POST
    --------------------------
    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.
