Biomechanics

3 credits

This course provides a general introduction to the fundamental human movement science discipline of biomechanics, a core discipline in many fields such as kinesiology, biomedical engineering, physical and occupational therapy, orthopaedics, ergonomics, etc. This course provides a basis for understanding both qualitative and quantitative human movement analysis techniques, with specific emphasis and application of functional anatomy, motion capture and classical mechanics (kinematics and kinetics). ***Prerequisite: KIN 263.***
