Clinical Kines/Applied Physics

Catalog description

This course is designed to study and analyze human movement and principles of physics in a person-environment-occupation context. Learning activities emphasize the understanding of how movement is integrated into the performance of activities of daily living and applied to individual environments. Kinesiology of the upper and lower extremities and trunk will be examined, and will include detailed discussions on both normal kinesiologic function and pathokinesiology. The connection between the principles of physics and its relation to human movement will be emphasized. Hands-on experience will give the student practical experience for a better understanding of how human movement is integrated into daily life skills. Completion of online learning modules in Blackboard are required as part of this course.
