| Description: | This course introduces the students to the underlying physical concepts and principles of human biomechanics and the application of therapeutic electro-physical agents. Students will begin to learn how to reason about the equilibrium and movement of the human body using the concepts of forces and torques. The importance of stability and the base of support provided by external and surface forces will be studied in authentic human contexts. The mechanical response and limitations of human tissues (and other more familiar materials) will be introduced through the concepts of stress and strain. Fundamental concepts of energy, power, waves, and electricity will also be introduced as a basis for therapeutic electro-physical agent applications. Integrative activities with courses in both the first and third semesters of the program will provide situational context for these concepts. |
