Segmental Inertial Parameters

[John De Witt]

I recently submitted a paper to a journal detailing an evaluation using Delp's base lower extremity model ('Delp, S.L., Loan, J.P., Hoy, M.G., Zajac, F.E., Topp E.L., Rosen, J.M.: An interactive graphics-based model of the lower extremity to study orthopaedic surgical procedures, IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, vol. 37, pp. 757-767, 1990.'). One of the review comments was to ask where I obtained my estimates for segmental mass and COM locations. This is completed automatically in the scaleing step as these parameters are already included in the model. I was hoping that one of the authors could tell me where they got the inertial parameters used to develop the base model.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

Sorry for the delay, but the values in the model are based on Clay Anderson's paper from 1999 (link below).
