Human posture and movement are a result of highly coordinated mechanical interactions between bones, joints, ligaments and muscles under the control of the nervous system. Understanding of the synthesis and control of human movement requires a complete knowledge of the force interactions within the neuromusculoskeletal system. The objectives of this course are to provide the mechanical basis underlying body posture and movement; and to equip the students with the knowledge and techniques necessary for the analysis of human movement for clinical applications and research.
