ESSENCE OF HUMAN MOVEMENT

The course begins with introducing skeletal anatomy and functional anatomy, painting a ‘picture’ about the components of the skeletal system. The next section simplifies biomechanics and how biomechanically we move. Illustrations and extensive discussion provide a deeper understanding on the functional anatomy required to perform daily and sport specific movement. Next, evidenced based research is introduced to provide insight on the body’s ‘weak links.’ Lastly, the various systems of the body and their interaction with one another to produce movement are extensively discussed.
 
Course Objectives: 
Identify the primary bones, joints, muscles and connective tissue in the upper and lower body that are involved with movement.
Identify the four primary rotator cuff muscles and identify the primary functional anatomy behind daily movements such as sit to stand, getting dressed, reaching, walking, etc. providing clarity on how the movement is supposed to occur vs. dysfunction.
Identify the primary functional anatomy and muscles behind the movement in sport specific movements such as swimming, tennis, volleyball and other sports providing clarity on how the movement is supposed to occur vs. dysfunction.
Be able to perform a biomechanical analysis of every day movements as well as common sport movements.
Identify the areas that have been shown both in science and evidenced based research that break down and are injured called “the weak links” of the human kinematic chain.
Be able to perform common functional assessment tests of each body part supported with research.
Understand and learn about the fundamentals of biomechanics, biomechanics of movement, biomechanical principles, biomechanics of various structures & tissues including; connective tissue, tendons and bones.
Understand how all systems of the body interact and affect one another.
