Determination of the Moments of Inertia of the Human Body and Its Limbs /

Show other versions (1)

This is another classic contribution by Braune and Fischer to the field of biomechanics, translated here for the first time from the original German edition of 1892. The pendulum method was employed to ascertain accurately the moments and radii of inertia of the human body and its different parts ab...
