Movement Assessment and Evaluation

Catalog description

Students perform different laboratory and clinical techniques to analyze human movement for biomechanical applications. Delivered as two components: lecture and laboratory. The lecture component serves to discuss the theory behind quantitative analysis techniques, proper equipment usage, data processing techniques and the connection to biomechanical principles. During the laboratory component students gain hands-on experience with the equipment by performing assigned experiments and clinical assessments. Follows with practice in analyzing, reporting, interpreting and presenting data. Additionally, students make recommendations and assign exercises to correct impaired movement when appropriate.
