Course Name: Biomechanics and Kinesiology
Code(Credit): CUTM1980 (5-0-1 )
Course Objectives:
- Define the various terms used in relation to Mechanics, Biomechanics & Kinesiology
- Recall the basic principles of Biophysics related to mechanics of movement / motion & understand the application of these principles to the simple equipment designs along with their efficacy in Therapeutic Gymnasium & various starting positions used in therapeutics.
- Apply the principles of mechanics to the human body and be able to articulate the same.
- Apply biomechanical evaluation to common activities –static & dynamic.
