Emphasis will be placed on: 1) the basic principles of mechanics, engineering and physics, and conceptual basis of function of the musculoskeletal system; 2) the structural and functional features of major joints of the human body; and 3) the qualitative and quantitative methods used to evaluate human motion in clinical and health promotion endeavors.
