PTHED 1406: Biomechanical Foundations of Human Movement

College/Program
Physical Therapy Program
Credits 2.0
Expanding on concepts introduced in Kinesiology/Biomechanics I & II, this course provides students with an advanced account of the biomechanical factors underlying the coordination and control of movement. Emphasis is on the biomechanical methods for the analysis of human movement. A weekly lecture will highlight movement in terms of its kinetic, kinematic, and electromyographical aspects. Laboratory sessions will include introductions to motion analysis technology, force platforms, and electromyographic kinesiology.
