Students will further their understanding of functional human anatomy within a clincial perspective. Specific attention towards the principal mechanical and neurological determinants of movement.
Fundamentals of Contemporary Biomechanics
Co-ordinate systems; equilibrium concepts ; free body diagrams ; (applied to human body)principals of kinetics used to develop static and dynamic descriptions of human motion
Kinematic chain systems & functional anatomy
Clinical Anthropometrics, muscle kinesiology , joint configurations , analysis of forces at a skeletal joint for various static and dynamic human actions
