This study provides data on the weight, volume, and center of mass of body segments of 13 male cadavers, which were dissected into 14 segments. The weight, volume, and center of mass of each segment were determined, along with anthropometric measurements. The data were used to develop predictive equations for estimating these parameters in living populations. The study was conducted under Project 7184, "Human Performance in Advanced Systems," and involved collaboration between multiple institutions. The research was supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The study aimed to supplement existing knowledge of body segment parameters and to enable more accurate estimation of these parameters in living individuals. The data were collected using a variety of techniques, including underwater weighing, fluoroscopy, and measurement of anthropometric dimensions. The results were used to develop predictive equations for estimating segment weight, volume, and center of mass based on anthropometric data. The study also included a detailed analysis of the relationships between segment size, weight, volume, and center of mass. The data were used to develop a comprehensive understanding of body segment parameters and their variations across different populations. The study was conducted in collaboration with multiple institutions and involved a large number of participants. The results of the study have been widely used in the fields of biomechanics, prosthetics, and aerospace medicine. The study provides a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in these fields.This study provides data on the weight, volume, and center of mass of body segments of 13 male cadavers, which were dissected into 14 segments.
