The present research was undertaken to determine the effects of sexual dimorphism in the human pelvis and femur on the mechanics of human locomotion. The analysis was based on six biomechanical variables determined from 25 male and 32 female skeletal remains from the Dickson Mound site. Discriminant function analysis indicates that the mechanical variables which primarily contribute to dimorphism are the moment arm of the gluteus medius and the torque produced by the abductors at the hip. These mechanical aspects of hip function produce greater pressure on the femoral head in females.
本研究旨在确定人类骨盆和股骨的性别二态性对人类运动力学的影响。该分析基于从迪克森土丘遗址的25具男性和32具女性骨骼遗骸中确定的六个生物力学变量。判别函数分析表明，主要导致二态性的力学变量是臀中肌的力臂和髋关节外展肌产生的扭矩。髋关节功能的这些力学方面在女性中对股骨头产生更大的压力。
