Technology in Biomechanics Instruction

When used appropriately, modem technology has the potential for improving the effectiveness of biomechanics instruction. Computer presentation packages can be used to assist individuals in understanding complex concepts in a classroom setting or at a remote site. Video and force plate technology employed in progressive stages, moving from simple hand calculations to computerized data processing, can give students a better appreciation of basic principles and improve their ability to apply them in the analysis of cyclic and discrete motor skills.
