DPT 502 - 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, in which material from anatomy, physiology, and physics (mechanics) is integrated. 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): DPT 504  and PT major, or permission of instructor. Corequisite(s): DPT 503 .
