Biomechanics of Movement | Lecture 8.2: Leaping into Inverse Dynamics Analysis of a Vertical Jump

Lecture by Professor Thomas Uchida of the University of Ottawa. Learn about the calculations involved in an inverse dynamic analysis. We will explore a simple example calculating the sagittal-plane moments about the ankle, knee, and hip during a maximum-height jump using experimental data including joint angles, joint angular velocities, and ground reaction forces.
