ISB Standardization Documents

This area is under construction.

This page provides access to standardization proposals by the ISB standardization committee, and the various subcommittees, and reactions from the biomechanics comminity.

The ISB standardization committee welcomes any comments regarding the content of these documents. Public comments are preferred, and should be posted to Biomch-L (biomch-l@nic.surfnet.nl). Private comments should be sent to the chair of the ISB standardization committee, Dr. Ge Wu (gwu@zoo.uvm.edu) at Penn State University. If the volume of discussion increases to a certain level, we will implement a system whereby you can post your comments directly on this web page.

All documents within one category are listed in chronological order. Documents are still being added.
