Abstract
The electrogoniometer was used to study locomotion and some athletic movements. Motion patterns for the knee and ankle joint were established for walking and running on the horizontal and for walking up and downhill. Changing the inclination of the walking surface produced alterations of the knee and ankle goniograms which were consistent with body mechanics necessary to adjust to the respective grades. Knee and ankle goniograms are presented for the back handspring, front somersault, and back somersault. An electrogoniometer was waterproofed and used to obtain goniograms during the performance of three swimming strokes. Goniograms are also presented for throwing a baseball and putting the shot.Keywords
