Inverse Dynamics

Inverse dynamics is a biomechanical analysis technique that estimates the forces and moments acting on joints during movement by working backward from observed motion and ground reaction forces. Introduced by David Winter in the early 1990s, it is fundamental to understanding how muscles and joints generate and control human motion.
