Method Abstract: "Anatomical data necessary for the analysis of human motion are presented on the total living body segmented into sixteen parts. Cadaver data from Dempster (1955) are applied to water displacement data obtained on 135 living subjects (35 men and 100 women) to obtain the weight, center of gravity, and radius of gyration for the segmented extremities."
Comments P.171 left column top paragraph: "Table 4 shows the mean segmented weights as a percentage of the total body weight. This allows the data to be used on any size person."
