|
Anatomical and physiological fundamentals and applications of human movement. Emphasizes the relationship between anatomical structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. Examines neuromuscular aspects of human motion and fundamental stabilization and movement of the extremities and spine. Analyzes kinesiological aspects of functional movement in the human body, and identifies normal and abnormal human movement patterns. Prerequisites: (BIO160 or BIO201) and EXS125, and (EXS130 or EXS212SC). |
