A Design on Center-of-Mass Measuring Device

Determining the position of the body Center of Mass (CoM) is played a very important role in the analysis of movement and ability to balance human. The Center of Mass of human is a theoretical point which the position can change constantly when moving. The position of the body Center of Mass is also depended on the age, the gender, property of bones and muscles, etc. Nowadays, in order to determine the Center of Mass of human, there are quite a lot of measurement methods in the world. However, these methods are generally very expensive, take a lot of time to measure, complicated implementation process and specially, no research has been done on Vietnamese people. Therefore, in order to optimize the above methods and meet the requirements of suitable for Vietnamese s body, we have designed a system that can find the body Center of Mass.
