This course addresses the recognition, description and analysis of the components of normal movement in static and dynamic activities, applying basic theories of mechanics of normal tissue, structure and properties of connective tissue, and general joint relationships. Normal joint mechanics for the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, and interrelationships between the anatomical structure and the normal kinematic behavior of joints are discussed. Theories of motor learning and motor control influencing activity of the musculoskeletal system are introduced. Lecture, lab, and movement analysis project facilitate learning.
