MPKI 5P06 - Functional and Ergonomic Assessment

Overview of various functional assessments used in healthy and special populations will be covered. Topics include musculo-skeletal evaluation, neurological screening, and biomechanical assessments of posture, balance, and gait. Ergonomic assessments will focus on understanding and measuring physical workplace demands such that work-related musculo-skeletal injuries of non-traumatic origin (i.e. low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome) can be limited.

Restrictions: Only open to MPK students.
