Table anthropométrique : Anthropometric table

Anthropometry is a branch of physical anthropology whose aim is to measure the various parameters that characterize the human body. Based on the subject's total mass and total height, anthropometric tables determine masses, segmental lengths and segmental inertias, as well as the position of segmental centers of gravity in relation to the distal or proximal ends of segments.

Dynamique inverse: Inverse dynamics

Calculation procedure whose aim is to evaluate the net joint forces at the various joints of the human body. This approach is based on the Newton-Euler equations; it requires knowledge of the kinetics of body segments, and in certain sporting situations, this procedure is initiated by integrating the forces of contact interaction of a segment with its environment....
