(1)Definition of Body Segmentation
The definition is almost same as that of Dempster and Fischer.
a.Shoulder
With the arm abducted laterally approximately 15 degree, the cut plane extends from the acromial tip to the anatomical neck of the
humorus.
b.Hip
The cut plane begins from the level of the iliac crest inferiorly along
the external shelf of the ilium cutting the rim of the acetabulurn and
serves the ischial tubersity (posteriorly at the level of the attachment
of M.Semimenbranous, anteriorly at the mid-point of the ascending ramus
of the ischium) with abudacted legs about 20 degree.
c.Head
The cut plane begins from the chin neck juncture, just inferior to the
hyoid bone, through the body of third cervical vertebra to the spinus tip
of second cervical vertebra with positioned in the Frankfort plane.
d. Knee
The cut line begins near the lower third of patella and bisects the maximum
protusions of the medial and lateral epicondyles of the femur and passes
just above the posterior superior edge of the medial epicondyle and through
the posterior superior tip of the lateral epicondyle.
e.Ankle
The cut plane begins at the anterior superior edge of the neck of the talus
and passes through the posterior superior surface of the calcaneous.
f.Elbow
With flexed about 45 degree, the cut plane bisects the area of insertion of the triceps
on the olecranon process, and crosses the greatest projection of the medial
epicondyle .
g.Wrist
The cut plane begins at the palpable groove between the lunate and capitate
bone, bisects the volar surface of the pisiform and ends at the distal
wrist crease.
- (2) Predictive model
- ･Stepwise multiple regression analysis→dependent variable:segment mass，volume，center of gravity
- ･Three antropmetric variables are selected on the basis of their partial
correlation coefficients.
- (3)Validation
- The total body masses of living subjests are compared with values predicted
by the regression equations.
