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 II will include biomechanics, mechanical properties of
joints and muscles and analysis of the lower extremity, lumbar
spine, posture and gait. Analysis of the lower extremity and lumbar
spine will include the structure, function, mechanics, select
pathomechanics and analysis of movement at each region.
