PT 6322 - Movement Science II

(2)

This is the second in a two-course sequence designed to address the foundational sciences relating to the study of human movement. The content addressed in this course focuses upon motor behavior theories, principles underlying human fine and gross motor activity, motor control, motor learning, and motor development. Students will explore and apply such concepts through analysis of movement and motor skill development in a wide range of individuals throughout the lifespan. Emphasis will be placed on integrating an understanding of motor behavior into the practice of physical therapy, particularly as it relates to the development and use of qualitative motion analysis skills necessary to effectively evaluate and positively shape human motion in clinical and health promotion populations.

Corequisite: PT 6324 .
