DTIC ADA042890: A Foundation for Systems Anthropometry. Phase I.

The purpose of the present program is to conduct basic research into the properties and requirements of three-dimensional dynamic anthropometry. In essence, the research has the expressed goal of inductively describing the linkage of the whole body for predicting body motion in three-dimensional dynamic computer simulations. This effort may be divided into three subsidiary tasks dealing with (1) the identification, location, and relationship of externally and internally 'stable' landmarks; (2) the definition of whole body and segment anatomical axes systems; and (3) the quantitative description of body motion with probabilistic characteristics of each major joint center of mobility.
