Includes aspects of anatomy, physiology, calculus, biomechanics, and physics.
What type of information does quantitative movement analysis provide?
Numerical information under standardized situations to gather information
Examples include formal range of motion (ROM) assessment and formal manual muscle testing (MMT).
What is qualitative movement analysis based on?
