Fundamentals of muscle and connective tissue function from microstructure to macrostructure are considered in health and dysfunctional states through the life span. These basic principles will be expanded to explore the concept of myofascial mobility, extensibility and length. Explores muscle function including strength, muscle endurance, power, and control throughout the trunk and extremities. Students will combine the skills learned in Kinesiology with those learned in this course to begin the process of examination, evaluation and designing intervention programs for the movement dysfunction.
