BIOMECHANICS OF NORMAL AND PATHOLOGICAL MOVEMENT
HBS3NPM
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students will be introduced to the mechanical principles used to describe and quantify human movement. Students will build on their knowledge of neurophysiology gained in first year, as it applies to the control of human movement. Students will explore the mechanics and motor control of human movement with an emphasis on gait in health and disease.
