Exercise and Sport Studies 310 - Neuromuscular Control of Human Movement

In this course, students will investigate neuromuscular mechanisms of human postural control to understand how perception and action are coupled to achieve complex movements, including locomotion. We will also evaluate how movement coordination is developed and is influenced by aging and dysfunction. Students will be exposed to advanced techniques of human movement analysis and will develop and test a novel research question. This course would be of interest to students with an interest in neuroscience, physical or occupational therapy, biomedical engineering and medicine. Prerequisites: One of ESS 210 (preferred), ESS 260, ESS 315, BIO 200, NSC 210, PSY 130, PSY 218, or permission of the instructor.
