KN 418 - Clinical Kinesiology (3)

Provides a solid foundation in neuromechanics and functional anatomy as they relate to both normal and abnormal movement. Emphasis on the integrated relationships between structure and function of the skeletal-articular, myofascial, and motor control systems provides a comprehensive understanding of human movement. Students will measure joint range of motion, assess movement, identify movement system dysfunction, and develop strategies to improve mobility, postural stabilization, and functional capacity. Restoring optimal function to the movement system improves the primary and secondary prevention of injury and chronic pain syndromes. Prerequisite: Junior standing. Corequisite: KN 319  with a minimum grade of “C” or concurrent enrollment. SP.
