pelvis for 50th percentile male

Post by Joseph Alston » Tue Jul 15, 2008 2:36 pm

I'm trying to create my own model to examine head and neck motions while running. Ideally I would like to create a model that represents a 50th percentile male. I've gotten a lot of help from the lower body and upper body models that people have already posted. And I am really grateful to everyone who has worked on those models. One of the problems that I have is that the pelvis in the lower body seems to be off. Has any one come across this? Or is my model off?

Let me be more specific. I noticed that the pubic symphision and the antero-superior iliac spine are typically vertical from each other. At least according to an anatomy book that I have. Thus I was wondering does any one knew what kind of standard deviation exists in the pelvic tilt of an average human standing up?
