DPT 623 Movement Science 2
In this course, students continue to explore normal human movement. Emphasis is on biomechanics, joint structure and function, muscle physiology and muscle activity. Students explore the complex interaction between systems that produces normal human movement, and consider how movement is affected by pathological conditions. Students will further develop regional human anatomy knowledge of the lower quarter for integration into clinical examination and intervention skills. Laboratory activities provide students the opportunity to apply anatomical and biomechanical knowledge to clinical examination techniques for further comprehension of the lower extremity and lumbopelvic spine. Laboratory activities focus on analysis of normal muscle and joint function through observation, palpation, examination, case study analysis, gait analysis, and application of biomechanical principles to daily activities.
