The purpose of this course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics, energetics, and control of human locomotion. We will explore current theories in biomechanics and motor control, as well as the foundational behavioral and sensorimotor evidence that underpin these theories. A focus will be placed on applying this understanding to the rehabilitation of movement disorders and the design and control of robotic assistive devices.
