BMC - 506 Human Movements and Kinematics

This course will cover: Anatomy of Joints – Upper extremity: movement of arm, identify the muscle, muscle strength, contribution in daily activity. Lower extremity: movement, alignment, contriubtion in daily activity. Trunk: spine, lumbar discs, lower back movements, muscels that contribute. Linear Kinematics– Gait analyses, displacement-velocity-acceleration relationships, examples. Angular Kinematics– Upper-extremity and lower-extremity joint movement angles, relationship between angular and linear motions, angular velocity and acceleration examples.
