This lecture covers the analysis and modeling of locomotion, focusing on measuring systems for force plate analysis. Topics include the first ground reaction force measurement, force plate measurements, computation of center of pressure, ground reaction force, torque, and examples of COP computation and GRF during gait. The lecture also discusses the impact of decreased force on body weight, pain, confidence in prosthetic limbs, and the relationship between vertical force and percentage stance phase.
