This course will focus on learning the terminology and biomechanical concepts related to joints kinesiology. The courses will emphasis the basic anatomic and functional aspects of the human joints and how are they related to the joints? movements. Additionally, this course will focus on the type of joints and osteokinematics and arthrokinematics. In this course, students will explore kinesiology concepts related to the open / closed-packed positions and capsular and non-capsular motion restriction patterns for each joint. Additionally, the course will help students learn the muscles rules in joint motions and understanding the type of muscle contractions, and factors affect the muscle contraction. Students will learn the strengthening exercise (open chain and close chain kinematic) and discuss the appropriate performance, posture, and considerations for contracting each muscle group. The introductory section of the course reviews the basic principles of human motions for each joint, the types of muscle contractions, and open and closed chain motion during simple and complex tasks. Then, the course will cover the kinesiology of the spine and upper extremities. The final section will cover the kinesiology of lower extremities and normal gait pattern as well as the pathological gait patterns. This course is given as two credit hours of theory per week.
