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.
