Biomechanics and Kinesiology (Movement Science)

These Biomechanics and Motor Development and Control Concentrations from University of Nebraska
Omaha are developing researchers who are working to improve movement
function and physical activity.

The  Biomechanics and Kinesiology course from University of Nebraska Omaha is a joint program between the Department of Biomechanics and the School of Health and Kinesiology.  A problem-solving approach is used across the age and health spectrum for device and materials design, disease prevention, health enhancement, and physical rehabilitation.  The program offers four areas of concentration in biomechanics, physiology of exercise, motor development and control, and physical activity.
