- Summary:
- Chapter contents include analytical techniques and terms, insights from inverse dynamics, predictions using an inverse dynamics model, control of different locomotion forms, the role of dynamics in the control of arm movements, and changes in limb dynamics during development. Techniques and terms defined are biomechanics, dynamic variables, single and multiple degrees of freedom, a free-body diagram, and dynamics techniques. The discussion of control of different locomotion forms examines swing-phase and stance-phase dynamics and insights for neural control of locomotion. The discussion of the dynamics of arm movements includes limb postural dynamics, intersegmental dynamics change with practice, and the affect of disrupted proprioception on limb dynamics. Topics related to changes in limb dynamics are spontaneous kicking behaviors and acquisition of reaching.
