Description
- Traditionally, students learn to analyze the role of
muscles in controlling movements by imagining the effects
of gravity and muscle forces between the start and the
end of a movement. Muscles in Action is a web based
tutorial that utilizes QuickTime digital video, 3D
animation, and UM.Lessons to allow students to view
motions in progress. Overlays of 3D animations are used
to depict the forces and torques acting on the body,
allowing students to observe the emergent body motion.
