This course is an in-depth study of the structure and function of neuro-musculo-skeletal components of the human body in motion. Promotes mastery of anatomical structure and function in order to make useful application to movement analysis, and serves as a framework for advanced study of human movement for sport, fitness, and recreation. Learning Outcomes: • Apply the language, concepts and procedures of Structural Kinesiology to the evaluation of human movement • Identify diarthrodial joints and demonstrate the physiological motions of those joints by anatomical planes and axes. • Demonstrate mastery of the structure and function of skeletal muscles and their primary and synergistic effects on kinetic chain dynamics. • Articulate the design of the central nervous and peripheral nervous systems, sensory organelles’ structures and functions. • Illustrate the feedback loops associated with proprioceptive mechanisms and explain their significance to the efficiency and safety of human movement. • Demonstrate typical and dysfunctional gait, sport, and rehabilitation skills. • Design movement analysis techniques and report simple and complex motion in anatomically specific contexts and draw conclusions about the effectiveness, efficiency and safety of those motions.
