Abstract

The aim of the current article is: 1) to present 16-segmental biomechanical model of the female human body generated within a SolidWorks medium. 2) to determine the mass-inertial characteristics of the human body of the average Bulgarian female on the basis of the model. These parameters are needed in order to design wearable or rehabilitation robots and devices properly; 3) to verify the model via comparing its results for the segments of the body with analytical results from our previous investigation of these segments; 4) to predict the inertial properties of a human body in various body positions. The comparison performed between our model results and data reported in literature gives us confidence that this model could be reliably used to calculate these characteristics at random postures of the body.
