This course in Biomechanics focuses on system mechanics, effects of origin and insertion location of muscles and lines of force from all internal forces depending on position, movement and event of the upper extremity. Theoretical concepts and practical application will include observing and analyzing performance from the perspectives of overall performance objectives, constraints to movement, classification of skills, and overall skill performances. Students will be able to define and analyze all phases of skill including; Overall performance objective, mechanical purpose, biomechanical factors, biomechanical principles and critical feature of each movement explored.
