New cards

Centre of Mass (COM)

the point about which the body is evenly distributed (= 0)

2
New cards

Centre of Mass Changes

from instant to instant during a movement

3
New cards

COM - Points

The moment about point A and B are equal about point C

C is the COM

4
New cards

Reaction Board Method

determine location of COM of an individual

5
New cards

Scale Board Method Equation

0=\left(Fscale\cdot dscale\right)+\left(Fperson\cdot dperson\right)+\left(Fboard\cdot dboard\right)

6
New cards

Segmental Method

COM is calculated using segments

Required knowledge of the masses and location of each body’s segment

7
New cards

Calculating COM Location

you can calculate the location without coordinates

8
New cards

COM Location Equation

length of leg segment / COM/segment length ratio

9
New cards

Calculating Segment Mass

Mass of individual / segment weight/total body weight
