Anatomical parameters for modeling of the human shoulder, anthropometric data collected in dissection studies

These pages contain the anthropometric data that have been collected in dissection studies on the human shoulder. Studies were performed between 1988 and 1995, at the VU in Amsterdam (VU study), later followed by studies at Leiden University (Leiden) and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester (MN).In the VU study we dissected seven specimen, from which we took both left and right shoulders. For each specimen, anthropometric data were collected before dissection. Subsequently, all relevant muscle attachments and bony elements on the thorax, scapula, clavicle and humerus were digitized. The dissection procedure ended with the measurement of the Physiological Cross-sectional Area of each muscle. Given are the anthropometric data for all seven specimen and the attachments for all right shoulders (N=7). To facilitate interpretation, we added a brief description of the data collection and processing procedures.In the Mayo studies we added four arms to the set, including the orientations of the kinematic linkages.See the referenced papers for more detailed information.Veeger et al (1991) Inertia and muscle contraction parameters for musculoskeletal modelling of the shoulder mechanism.

本数据集收录了1988年至1995年间于阿姆斯特丹自由大学（VU University Amsterdam，下称VU）开展的人体肩部解剖研究中采集的人体测量学数据，后续补充了莱顿大学（Leiden University）以及美国明尼苏达州罗切斯特市梅奥诊所（Mayo Clinic）的相关研究数据。
在VU研究中，我们共解剖7具人体标本，采集其双侧肩部的相关数据。每具标本在解剖前均完成人体测量学参数采集，随后对胸廓、肩胛骨、锁骨及肱骨上的所有相关肌肉附着点与骨性结构进行数字化处理。本次解剖流程的最终环节为测量每块肌肉的生理横截面积（Physiological Cross-sectional Area）。本数据集包含全部7具标本的人体测量学数据，以及全部7例右侧肩部的肌肉附着点数据（样本量N=7）。为便于使用者理解，我们补充了数据采集与处理流程的简要说明。
在梅奥诊所的研究中，我们新增了4组上肢数据集，包含运动学连杆的方位参数。
