Adjustments to Zatsiorsky-Seluyanov's segment inertia parameters.
TLDR
In this paper, the authors adjust the mean relative center of mass positions and radii of gyration reported by Zatsiorsky et al. in order to reference them to the joint centers or other commonly used landmarks, rather than the original landmarks.About:

Muscle contributions to propulsion and support during running
TL;DR: A three-dimensional muscle-actuated simulation of the running gait cycle reveals that the quadriceps and plantarflexors are the major contributors to acceleration of the body mass center during running.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of obesity and sex on the energetic cost and preferred speed of walking.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that walking would be most expensive for obese women compared with obese men and normal-weight women and men was tested and it was hypothesized that for all groups, preferred walking speed would correspond to the speed that minimized the gross energy cost per distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of adding mass to the legs on the energetics and biomechanics of walking.
TL;DR: The increase in net metabolic rate with foot loading was associated with greater EMG of muscles that initiate leg swing and greater swing-phase muscle moments, helping to explain why the metabolic rate during walking is not strongly affected by body mass distribution.

Correlation between the knee adduction torque and medial contact force for a variety of gait patterns.

TL;DR: In vivo data collected from a single subject with an instrumented knee implant support the hypothesis that the knee adduction torque is highly correlated with medial compartment contact force and medial to total force ratio during gait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjustments to McConville et al. and Young et al. body segment inertial parameters
TL;DR: Adjusted scaling equations are obtained for both males and females that provide BSIPs which are directly applicable in the conventional SCSs and do not restrain the position of the centre of mass and the orientation of the principal axes.

Weight, volume, and center of mass of segments of the human body
TL;DR: Weight, volume, and center of mass of 14 segments of the body were determined on 13 male cadavers and descriptive statistics of these variables as well as a series of regression equations predicting these parameters from anthropometry are presented.
Investigation of inertial properties of the human body
TL;DR: In this article, the mass distribution characteristics of the human body as described by the principal moments of inertia and their orientation to body and segment anthropometry are described. And the mass, center of mass, moment of inertia, and volume were measured on the fourteen segments from each cadaver.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint center longitudinal positions computed from a selected subset of Chandler's data
TL;DR: The use of a method for accurately locating joint centers is recommended, particularly when they are used as reference points for defining a personalized geometrical model of a subject's body.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adjustments to the segment center of mass proportions of Clauser et al. (1969).
TL;DR: These new proportions are markedly different than those originally reported by Clauser et al., especially for the trunk segment, so readers are cautioned against using the original proportions when using joint centers as segment endpoints.
