This course will examine the quantitative measurement and analysis of the human musculoskeletal system. Multi-segment dynamic movements will be studied using computer programs, with emphasis on kinematics, kinetics and energetics, as well as the use of EMG in the assessment of the control of the movement. Examples are presented from pathological, normal, and athletic movement.

  • Such a fun course, start to finish I was engaged. All course content was assessed but felt relevant and important. You need a bit of python understanding to stay afloat but Dr. Acker teaches you what you need to know. I highly recommend taking this course.
