“…In adults, the strength of the relationship between moment arm length and body anthropometrics depends on the muscle or (Murray et al, 2002) and trunk flexors and extensors (Reid et al, 1987;Moga et al, 1993;Jorgensen et al, 2003;Seo et al, 2003), with surface anthropometry accounting for 61-91% of the variance in moment arm lengths. However, such a relationship could not be shown for the knee extensors (Tsaopoulos et al, 2007;O'Brien et al, 2009), where surface anthropometry only accounted for 14-49% of variance in moment arm lengths.…”

“…For these reasons, there is no significant advantage in measuring this distance in MRI or X-ray images when the moment arm can be measured directly on the images anyway. It has also been shown that several trunk muscle moment arms are related to, and can be predicted from, external anthropometric characteristics, such as body height, body mass, torso depth and chest width (Reid et al, 1987;Moga et al, 1993;Seo et al, 2003;Jorgensen et al, 2003). However, it is not known whether relevant anthropometric characteristics are related to moment arms in other major joints.…”

“…Many studies have tried to obtain precise values for these parameters [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . Some of them analyzed the relationships between these parameters and physical data such as height and weight 4,7,9,12) . Concerning the moment arm length of the erector spinae, for example, Reid et al 4) found significant correlations with height and weight.…”

Estimation of Trunk Muscle Parameters for a Biomechanical Model by Age, Height and Weight: Akihiko Seo, et al. Department of Intelligent Systems, Graduate School of Engineering, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Technology—To establish more accurate equations for estimating the moment arm length and cross‐sectional area of the erector spinae and rectus abdominis muscles, the effects of height, weight and age on those muscles were analyzed by using a high‐order polynomial equation. Data on the moment arm length and cross‐sectional area at L3/ 4 were obtained from MRI images of 152 males and 98 females. The statistical model used in this study has any combination of up to third‐order independent variables for age, height and weight. The effective independent variables were selected by the forward step method of multiple regression analyses. The results of multiple regression analyses showed that the polynomial equations for the moment arm length of erector spinae in both genders, and that for the rectus abdominis in males, contained all three variables of age, height and weight. That for the moment arm length of female rectus abdominis contained the variables of weight and age. The multiple correlation coefficients of the erector spinae and rectus abdominis were 0.355 and 0.650 for males, 0.364 and 0.411 for females, respectively. The equations for the cross‐sectional area of the erector spinae in both genders, as well as that for male rectus abdominis contained only one variable (weight). The multiple correlation coefficients of the cross‐sectional area of the erector spinae were 0.576 for males and 0.469 for females. The cross‐sectional area of the female rectus abdominis had no effective variables.
