Functional and Surface Anatomy CXA232

Launceston

Introduction

This unit provides an introduction to analysis of human movement. The focus is on functional musculoskeletal anatomy and the physical laws that control motion. The unit focuses both on the application of kinesiology to physical activities of daily living and exercise. It is a prerequisite for CXA203 Biomechanics
