PT 512 - Kinesiological Motion Analysis

Prerequisites, physical therapy major, PT 510, PT 510L, PT 511, PT 511L, PT 513. Corequisite, PT 512L. This course further develops the students’ understanding of human movement by applying biomechanical principles to individual joint mechanics both ideal and pathological, and by observational analysis of human motion including gait. The student will participate in both lecture and interactive laboratory sessions that provide scientific evidence of joint mobility and results of motion deviations. Coursework is designed specifically for the DPT student and continues development of clinical judgment skills while integrating personal and cultural values and skills. (Offered as needed.) 2 credits
