Biomechanics/Kinesiology I

Catalog description

This is the first course, in a two-course sequence, studying the principles of kinesiology and biomechanics in relationship to movement disorders of the lumbar spine and lower extremity. Participants will develop the ability to analyze normal and abnormal functional movement, determine pathomechanics of movement dysfunctions, and incorporate kinesiological and biomechanical principles for solving movement dysfunctions. Students who register for DPT 511 must also register for a DPT 511 laboratory. For example, if you register for DPT 511 you must, at the same time, register for a section of DPT 511L .
