MSPO 513 - Biomechanics

2 credit(s)
Biomechanics is a first-level introduction to the mechanical/ anatomical bases of human movement. The subject matter is specifically developed for students in the health professions. An interdisciplinary approach is used, integrating material from anatomy, physiology and physics (mechanics). Quantitative and qualitative biomechanical analyses of human movement are studied from the perspective of kinematic and kinetic descriptions of multisegment motion, joint and muscle mechanics, and tissue biomechanical properties.
Prerequisite(s): Prosthetics & orthotics major. Corequisite(s): MSPO 514.
