Biomechanics of Movement | Lecture 6.2: Measuring and Calculating Moments

Lecture by Professor Scott Delp of Stanford University. Learn about moments and moment arms that transform muscle forces into joint moments. We will practice calculating moments, explore ways to estimate or measure muscle moment arms, and explore the relationship between moment arms and muscle function.
