    Description
    This lecture and lab course introduces the student Physical Therapist Assistant to the relationship between physical laws and the biomechanical principles of joint motion. The concepts of normal posture and human locomotion are contrasted with obvious posture and gait deviations. An understanding of kinesiology is applied to major joints in the body utilizing basic exercise applications for patients/clients with common orthopedic and neurologic conditions.
