Instrumented Movement Analysis

Catalog description

Instrumented Movement Analysis is a 1-credit course offered during the Fall semester of the third year of the DPT program. This course provides an opportunity for students to become familiar with instruments used in the study of human movement. In addition to lecture presentations, this course includes discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice of instrumentation typically found in a human movement laboratory such as electromyography, two-dimensional and three- dimensional motion analysis, metabolic gas analysis, and dynamometry. Upon course completion, students are expected to describe the use of advanced instrumentation in the analysis of human movement, and be able to perform basic setups using the equipment.
