PT 402 - Movement Science 1

(2 credits)

This course will investigate normal and pathological human movement using the physical laws of motion and principles of arthrology. Emphasis will be placed on isolated and gross movement patterns of the lower extremities. Specific application of functional anatomy and kinesiological principles will be studied with respect to human locomotion. In addition, the course will investigate mechanical principles which govern human movement of the lower extremities. Lecture and laboratory format will ensure development of competencies in assessing human movement and in using technologies commonly used for movement analysis. Summer.
