This online course gives an introduction to the kinematics of human locomotion including modeling upright walking as a controlled fall. It shows how muscles and bones work together to move individuals using a series of joints and levers, and how the abductor mechanism works to solve the “seesaw problem” of side-to-side wobbling.
