Additional information

Unit content:

The unit is designed to introduce students to the principle of musculoskeletal biomechanics. Basic principles are taught according to body regions and include the spine and extremities. The focus of the theory component is primarily on mechanical and physiologic interactions between muscles and joints of the body. These interactions are described for normal movement of the body, and where applicable, abnormal movement of the body also. In the practical component, students will be introduced to static and motion palpation skills of the spine.
