PHTH 509 - Kinesiology I Credits: Three (3) Prerequisite: BIOL-102, BIOL-394, MATH-125, and PHYS-104; For PT Students Corequisite: PHTH-509L, PHTH-531, PHTH-500, BIOL-510, and BIOL-511
Kinesiology is the study of human motion. This course is designed
to analyze the principles of biomechanics, muscle and joint anatomy
and function which interact to produce or limit normal motion.
Kinesiology I will include biomechanics, mechanical properties of
joints and muscles and analysis of the upper extremity, temporal
mandibular joint (TMJ), cervical and thoracic spine. Analysis of
the upper extremity, TMJ, cervical and thoracic spine will include
the structure, function, mechanics, select pathomechanics and
analysis of movement at each region.
