The Spinal Biomechanical Engineering course is engineered to help you understand the biomechanics, pathobiomechanics and bio-neuro-mechanics of the spine. Simply stated, how the spine should function normally and what happens when forces are translated to the spine and the potential negative pathological sequella. These pathological changes can be quantified, once understood and then part of a conclusive demonstrative diagnosis (visualized and verified in a reproducible posture), prognosis and treatment plan. Each instructor has focused a good portion of their career in researching, teaching and practicing spinal biomechanics

Module 3: Spinal Biomechanical Engineering: Lumbar Analytics

Module 4: Spinal Biomechanical Engineering: Full Spine Analytics

Course Objective: To understand spinal biomechanical engineering of the cervical and upper thoracic spine. This includes the normal and pathobiomechanical movement of both the anterior and posterior motor units and normal function and relationship of the intrinsic musculature to those motor units.  This course also introduces nomenclature in reporting normal and pathobiomechanical findings of the spine and integrates spinal biomechanics and pathobiomechanics through digitized analysis.
