Document Summary
With one to two hours later, causing discs to become injured at lower levels of load and degree of bending. Definition of center of gravity refer to lab manual, page 14-1. For the human body in anatomical position, the cg is approximately 5 cm anterior to the second sacral vertebra, or 6 cm below the belly button. On average, it is slightly higher in males than in females 57 % versus 55 % of height. The exact location of the center of gravity varies from person to person depending on body proportions. The cg is influenced by changing body position or limb positions. The addition of external weight, such as a backpack, will relocate the cg. Assume that the center of gravity is the fulcrum or balance point and then apply the principle of. Levers: segmental method - can be used for locating cg of a body in motion, balance and stability.
