Observing and Analyzing Human Movement and FunctioningLaajuus (5 cr)

Code: TH00BD96

Credits

5 op

Objective

The student is able to
• use both anatomical, physiological and biomechanical knowledge in examining and analyzing human movement and functioning and it’s subareas,
• examine and analyze human movement and functional capacity at different ICF levels,
• draw up conclusions based on examination and analysis,
• identify the main features of moving in people at different ages ( motor skills),
• explain how different factors affect on the development of motion and movement in different ages,
• describe human positions, movements and functioning in oral and written form using professional terminology.

Content

Examining positions, basic movements, gait and functioning of clients at different ages by observation and measurements, analyzing results of examination, linking life span and environmental factors to human functioning and it’s components, linking age to functioning and it’s preconditions, sensitive periods of development and growth in childhood, utilizing measurement technology.

Basics of observation: timing, movement in relation to gravity and action, base of support, gravity, center of gravity, power point of force, resultant force, force arm, load and load arm, forms of muscle work, somatosensory system and balance system as phenomen, examining and analyzing balance

Qualifications

The student is able to explain musculoskeletal and neurological structures and their function in a way that (s)he is able to explain human movement and functional ability. The student is able to explain humans kognitive and motor learning abilities and support his/her learning according to these abilities.
