About the course

Course content

This course covers anatomy at both macro and micro level, focusing on skeleton, joints and muscles. The approach is motion device support and motion function. Introduction to anthropometry is part of the course. The exercises and group work contain practical activities, demonstrations, and exercises in anatomy focusing on movement analysis.
