Here is this week's installment of recently published articles re:
Locomotion or Biomechanics.
I have decided to not include any cellular biomechanics. Though that may
be the most active area of biomechanics research today, it does not seem to
be a common topic on Biomch-L. I also am not including any citations from
J. Biomechanics since Elsevier can send you their table of contents
automatically in a much more timely manner.
Sub-headings this week: Comparative, Muscle, Locomotion, Motor Control and
Clinical/Orthopedic/Ergonomics

Rodger Kram
