Electroencephalogr. Clin. Neurophysiol., 4/2. - May 1952, gr.-8°, pp.187-194, 6 Figs., orig. wrappers. Offprint! *) A contribution from the Biomechanics Group, aided by granst from the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and the National Research Council, Advisory Committee on Artificial Limbs. Verne Inman (1905-1980) "…was an exceptional person in an important position at a pivotal time. Not only did his studies of the biomechanics of locomotion establish the field, they are classics in the application of engineering expertise to clinical problems through basic research." "It was soon evident that basic research was needed if intelligent design changes were to be made in the unsatisfactory prosthetic devices of the time. Here, then, was the opportunity for him to integrate his interests in mechanical and electronic devices, since elucidation of the basic biomechanics of locomotion required study of not only the dynamics of body motion, but also analysis of the phasic electrical activity of the appropriate muscles. As the scope of the project broadened to include problems with muscle physiology, pain, and skin, the Biomechanics Laboratory became the first departmentally based interdisciplinary research group on the San Francisco campus. The collaboration between the basic sciences and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery established high standards for such worthwhile interactions. The goals of basic research as well as their clinical applications were met by the diverse group of specialists who participated in the project. International fame and major publications in the areas of human locomotion, the mechanisms of pain, and rational prosthetic design were the result.".
