Kinesiology and NeuropsychologyLaajuus (5 cr)

Objective

The students know the basics of the locomotor system and kinesiology. They can apply their knowledge of anatomy, physiology and kinesiology to be able to observe and assess the body movement of their own and others' bodies during activity. The students understand how to use this knowledge in consultation.

The students know the basics of neurophychology so that they can exploit their knowledge in the implementation of client-based occupational therapy and in consultation. The students understand how physical movement and neuropsychology together are behind human activity and how individual characteristics influence movement and activity.
