College/Program
Physical Therapy Program
Credits 3.0
This course is a continuation of the principles and theories introduced in Kinesiology/Biomechanics I. Students will be able to recognize and describe basic theories of mechanics and the components of normal movement in static and dynamic states as it relates to the spine, temporomandibular joint, lower extremity, and gait activities. Course content includes the interrelationships between anatomical structure and normal kinematic behavior of joints, muscle function, and human gait. Also, foundations for analyzing and identifying the components of gait are covered.
