Exercise and Sport Studies 310 - Neuromuscular Control of Human Movement

In this course, students investigate neuromuscular mechanisms of human postural control to understand how perception and action are coupled to achieve complex movements, including locomotion. Students also evaluate how movement coordination is developed and is influenced by aging and dysfunction. Students are exposed to advanced techniques of human movement analysis and develop and test a novel research question. This course is designed for 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 or PSY 218, or equivalent. Enrollment limited to 25.
