Course Code: KIN8125H1: Clinical Assessment of Movement Capacity
Course description: Kinesiologists typically assess individuals’ movement capacity using observations of their ability to execute whole-body, functional movement patterns. When someone is unable to perform such movements, or performs them in undesirable ways, there are multiple possibilities as to why this is the case. In this course, we consider the underlying components of movement capacity, and potential causes of incapacity including neuro-musculo-skeletal health disorders. Students learn about the process of clinical reasoning that links manifestations of movement incapacity to potential underlying causes, and develop skills related to the techniques of assessment that underlie that reasoning. A mixture of lectures and practical laboratories will be used to aid in the development of knowledge and skills related to clinical assessment.
