J.	Course Description: Kinesiology incorporates the study of many areas including anatomy, physiology, physics and biomechanics. Students will learn about qualitative and quantitative methods to gather information about client’s movements. Students are introduced to range of motion and manual muscle testing and learn to apply them within activity analysis. They will work on developing a greater understanding of how to use this information to develop effective interventions to effect change within their clients. Relationship to Curriculum Design: This course addresses the Occupational Performance, Clinical Reasoning, Professional, and Ethical Behavior threads of the curriculum design.
