Biomechanics of Movement | Lecture 2.2: The Walking Gait Cycle and Ground Reaction Forces

Lecture by Professor Scott Delp of Stanford University on biomechanics of walking. Learn about the different phases of the walking gait cycle and the ground reaction force patterns that help us understand the dynamics of walking. Hear about force plates, a tool we use to measure these ground reaction forces. Note the title slides in the videos say there are 5 total lectures in this series but there are only 3 total videos for Lecture 2. This lecture covers part of "Biomechanics of Movement Chapter 2: Walking".
