Links
These links take you to both commercial and non-commercial sites with information, or of interest to, anyone in the Gait Analysis, Biomechanics, Electromyography, and Motion Capture fields. Please note that some of the institutions that host these sites change their web sites on a fairly regular basis which may result in broken links. If your web site listing has disappeared from this page then please tell us the new URL address - preferably a static link that will not change. Links can be added to this page by sending an email to us with a description of the proposed link.
The lists are organized (alphabetical order within each section) into the following categories:
