Description
Using a regional approach to the material, this course entails a detailed study of the arthrokinematics and
osteokinematics of the human body. Factors that influence human movement, such as the biomechanics of human
tissue and neuroregulation of motion, are covered. Emphasis is placed on gaining a clinical perspective on the
relationship between joint structure and function, and especially the relationship between them in producing the
characteristic movement patterns that occur at each major joint in the back and limbs. Didactic lectures and
clinical applications are used to present the material. Laboratory exercises on gait analysis and posture will
emphasize clinical problems and relate mechanical and physiological concepts to a direct experience of the human
body in motion. Students will gain and apply a thorough knowledge of the mechanics of human motion at each
individual joint including being able to analyze deviations from normal due to a variety of conditions such as
