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. Upon completion of this course, the students will have a clear understanding of the mechanics of posture and movement as well as the theoretical basis and ability of operation of instruments used in human motion analysis such as stereophotogrammetry systems, EMG and force plates.
