Course Discription |
:
This course involves the study and analysis of the mechanics of human movement in both normal and pathological conditions, in motion and in posture. It explores the internal forces generated by muscles acting on bones and joints, as well as external forces such as gravity and acceleration. The course enhances students’ ability to analyze movement to identify and correct postural or balance dysfunctions. It covers the laws of mechanics, forces, vectors, and principles of biomechanics. The course also includes gait analysis (normal and abnormal) and introduces the anatomy and movement of individual joints. |
