Somatic Segment Name | Centroid Measurement Starting Point | Centroid Position (Unit: mm) |
Centroid Relative Position (unit: %) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Neck | vertex | 117.8 | 46.9 | 8.62 |
Upper trunk | Cervical vertebra | 115.6 | 53.6 | 16.82 |
Lower trunk | Lower thoracic point | 177.8 | 40.3 | 27.23 |
Thigh | Tibial point | 254.5 | 45.3 | 14.19 |
A lower leg | Medial malleolus point | 224.1 | 39.3 | 3.67 |
Upper arm | Bony point | 163.3 | 47.8 | 2.43 |
Forearm | Point of the styloid process of the bone | 136.6 | 42.4 | 1.25 |
Hand | Fingertip of middle finger | 114.2 | 36.6 | 0.64 |
Foot | Plantar | 38.2 | 48.6 | 1.48 |

Note 1: the centroid position (M.C.) is determined by the distance from the measuring point to the centroid of the body. Note 2: the average value of the table is the average age of 11,164 adult men (18 years and 60 years old). Note 3: the relative position of the center of mass is the percentage of the upper part of the center of mass in each body segment. Example: the relative position of the center of mass of the head and neck = (head to center mass to head distance head neck length) × 100%; Relative weight of head and neck = head neck mass/overall quality) × 100%.
