Course Description

Fundamental biomechanical principles specific to the field of rehabilitation, basic mechanical properties (Newton's Laws, static and dynamic), vector analysis, kinetics and kinematics applied to biomechanics, work/energy evaluation methods, stress/strain, injury prevention, treatment, prosthesis-orthotics and assistive device arrangements. Issues related to biomechanical evaluations will be discussed.
