Objective
You master the biomechanics of the locomotor system, as applicable.
You understand the biomechanical functioning of the body for advanced studies.
You deepen your knowledge and skills especially in osteokinematics and arthrokinematics as required in the profession.
You are able to analyze the biomechanics of the body and apply it in the clinical work.
Content
