A protocol to measure the dynamic characteristic of body in vivo was developed using the photogrammetry system. This system consisted of VICON 140, KRISSMAS, force platform, and auxiliary equipment that were implemented for this study. The program, KRISSMAS developed for motion analysis in the motion analysis laboratory, KRISS, was modified to analysis inertia data from this experiment. This system was very convenient for measuring dynamic anthropometric data such as mass, center of mass, and moment of inertia, etc.
