This course is a study of movement disorders associated with a range of special populations from healthy older adults to those with neurological, degenerative or developmental disorders. Students will be provided with hands-on experiences using state-of-the-art techniques in motion analysis to understand the kinematics, kinetics, and neural control of standing posture, stepping, walking, and other activities of daily living. The graduate component of the course will require students to lead a seminar, and prepare a research proposal related to the study of a specific movement disorder. (Cross-listed with Human Biology 8320). Restriction: Graduate students need prior admission to a graduate program at UPEI and permission of the instructor. NOTE: Credit not given for both KINE 4320 and HB 8320; Responsibility for this course rests within the Department of Applied Human Sciences. Three lecture hours. 06-01-2021-07-04-2021 Web Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10:30AM - 11:20AM, Room to be Announced
