Elective Courses (4 credits)
Quantitative and qualitative approaches to movement analysis and application
Biomechanics encompasses the study of forces acting on the human body during activity and their influence in order to optimize movement and/or identify risk factors which may harm the musculoskeletal system. This course will focus on theories and practice of different approaches of describing the biomechanics/kinematics (variables related to movement) and kinetics (variables related to force) of human movement to determine the presence of errors in technique and/or mechanisms of injury. During the course, students will familiarize themselves and experiment with different approaches of human movement analysis and their application.
