Document Summary

Linked rigid body biomechanics: assumptions, body segments are rigid, segments connected at joints, joints have well- defined number of "degrees of freedom" There are two categories: statics: the study of bodies without acceleration, dynamics: the study of the body"s acceleration, acceleratio(cid:374): (cid:894)i(cid:374) (cid:373)eters per seco(cid:374)d, (cid:373). s^2(cid:895).
