This course covers the study of joint and muscle function of the spine and lower extremities applying the principles of biomechanics and motion to both normal and pathological populations including posture and posture analysis. Students learn normal movement and then begin to identify pathological movement including recognition of the probable causes. Laboratory study includes palpation of surface anatomy, goniometry and manual muscle testing, application of biomechanical theory and muscle function to normal and pathological movement.
