PT 752 Biomechanics and Kinesiology

This course presents the interrelationships of movement processes between bony and soft tissue structures in the human body. This course prepares students to interpret and synthesize the biomechanics that occur with normal movement.

Outcomes

1. Explain the basic principles of biomechanics on normal movement.
2. Translate the functional anatomy of soft tissues structures to their role in facilitating/guiding normal arthrokinematic movement, including force couples.
3. Translate the functional anatomy of soft tissues structures to their role in facilitating/guiding normal arthrokinematic movement, including force couples.
4. Apply knowledge of arthrokinematic motion to assess normal accessory motion.
5. Distinguish the difference between normal and pathological biomechanical movement.
