I am looking for intertial properties (mass, centre of mass position, moment of inertia) of specific body anatomical segments to be included in a muscoskeletal model (Vasavada head and Neck model, OpenSim) for inverse dynamic simulation porpouse.
Dear Dario
Have a look at Dr. Zatsiorsky's books. I.e. kinematics of human locomotion & kinetics of human motion.

Hi Sina, Zatsiorsky's book provides intertial properties which are not resoluted enough for this porpouse.
I managed to get scapula, clavicle and spine/trunk inertial properties from the Shoulder Delft OpenSim model. The COM position and local ref system have to be changed and need to fit with Vasavada's model reference system. I still miss vertebra (C1-C7) intertial properties.
Many thanks
Dario
Hi Dario, please see if this scaling method (script available for download) can be of any use when fitting data to Vasavada's model.

Data Scaling method to estimate muscle attachment locations (matlab script)
There is a very good reference book in Russian.
I can send you e-mail.
