Learning objectives
The student must 'know the general concepts on human movement, the forces involved in achieving the posture and movement, the
static and dynamic effects of forces. In addition, the following concepts:
Levers and pulleys
Biomechanics of the spine
hip biomechanics
Biomechanics of the knee
Biomechanics of ankle and foot
Biomechanics of the shoulder
Biomechanics of the elbow
Biomechanics of wrist and hand
