- Course Description: A basic introduction to movement science and its foundational principles from four different perspectives: biomechanics; kinesiology; exercise physiology; and motor control, learning and development. Restricted to majors.
Repeatable for 2 cr.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: New Degree Program – DPT

- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Licensed physical therapist with advanced degree in discipline.
- Objectives: 1. Quantify human movement according to Cartesian coordinate systems in different
frames of reference including the anatomic position.
2. Define rigid body kinematics: translation, angular motion and curvilinear motion.
3. Identify three types of lever systems and relate levers to human joint function.
4. Categorize the stability and mobility functions of muscle including:
a. concentric, eccentric and isometric muscle actions
b. functions of the agonist, antagonist and synergists
c. active and passive insufficiency
5. Explain muscle length-tension and velocity-force relationships and force-rate of
contraction relationships.
6. Discuss basic kinetic and kinematic terms and their measurement units including:
displacement, velocity, acceleration, mass, weight, force, moment, and torque.
7. Explain:
a. the influence of initial fitness level, frequency, intensity, duration, mode, volume and gender on training response
b. the mechanism(s) of overtraining and the concept of exercise/activity periodization.
c. muscular synergists, agonists, antagonists
d. the principles of physical conditioning programs including Overload, Specificity, Individual Differences (Somatotypes), Progression, Reversibility
e. the normal developmental sequence and changes in motor milestones across the lifespan.
8. Compare normal versus impaired movement across the life span.
9. Discuss the general organization of sensory and motor systems, the functional
organization of motor units, and patterns of motor unit recruitment.
10. Develop operational definitions for muscle tone and movement disorders. (e.g.,
spasticity, rigidity, tremor, ataxia, athetoid movements).
11. Discuss theories of normal and abnormal motor control; motor development; motor
learning, sensation, perception, arousal/attention/cognition, cranial nerve integrity,
and muscle performance across the lifespan.
12. Define basic terminology related to spatial and temporal parameters of gait.
- Learning Outcomes: By the end of this course, learners will be able to apply basic movement science principles to normal human movement and identify common movement disorders.
- Major Topics: Basic kinesiological principles
Basic biomechanical principles
Basic exercise physiology principles
Basic motor control, motor learning and motor development principles
Tissue biomechanics, structure, and function
Normal v. abnormal movement and development
Basic Components of normal gait
