| Abstract | Classical models to estimate the head and trunk (HT) moments of inertia (I) are limited to populations from which the anthropometric measures were obtained. The purposes of this study were to determine if the angular momentum technique can be used to estimate subject-specific HT's I values and test its validity and sensitivity. Twenty-three adults who participated in this study were divided into three morphological groups according to their body mass index (BMI). Using the proposed technique, the HT's I values were estimated for the whole sample and compared to three well-known methods to test its validity. The sensitivity of the proposed method was verified while applied to individuals with different BMI (i.e., lean, normal, and obese). The angular momentum technique gave I values within the range of those of the three methods for the entire sample. Statistical differences were identified between the lean and obese groups in relative radii of gyration for the anteroposterior and mediolateral axes (P <; 0.05). Since the proposed technique makes no assumption on the mass distribution and segments' geometry, it appeared to be more sensitive to body morphology changes in estimating the HT's I values in lean and obese subjects compared to the classical methods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
