Biomechanics of Movement

Experimental data, musculoskeletal models, and simulation results that appear in Uchida TK and Delp SL (2020) Biomechanics of Movement: The Science of Sports, Robotics, and Rehabilitation. These resources can be used by students to further explore the concepts presented in the book, by instructors to enhance their teaching materials, and by researchers who want to get moving.
