EXPH11-107: Biomechanics Principles

Description

This subject provides students with the foundational principles of biomechanics, exploring how the laws of physics govern human movement. Students will learn how to integrate these principles with their understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy to explain and quantify motion. The curriculum focuses on applying these concepts to understand movement in activities of daily living, exercise, and sport, establishing the analytical framework essential for future clinical practice.
