MSOT 502 - Kinesiology

2 credit(s)
Kinesiology is the study of human movement. This course presents a first-level integration of the mechanical/anatomical/neurological basis of human movement. The subject matter is specifically developed for students in the health professions. An interdisciplinary approach is used, in which material from gross anatomy, biomechanics and physiology is integrated. Human movement is studied from the perspective of functional, kinematic, and kinetic descriptions of single-joint, complex-joint and multi-joint motions. Students will also develop a fluency of the highly specialized language of health and the human body through a medical terminology module. The mastery over medical terminology that students will develop in this course is important for those looking to work in a healthcare profession.
