This course will provide the student, ultimately/ideally with a Certification in Applied Functional Science® (CAFS). Additionally, this course will give the student the skills and knowledge to approach each individual according to their unique goals and daily function. Combining the principles of Applied Functional Science® with existing skill sets experience, and understanding, this course focuses on program design, thus utilizing the Local to Global spectrum method. The student will learn how to identify common dysfunctions, take an individualized approach to program design and create truly functional programs for your future clients. Utilizing the Local to Global spectrum method, learn how to identify common dysfunction, then create mobility and progress to stability/strength for a wide array of functional needs and for any population CAFS will provide a new experience by delivering the authentic truths of bio-mechanics and enforcing the student’s understanding with real-life examples of how to apply these principles. This is a certification course.

EXS 249 Human Analysis and Performance
1 credit hours
3DMAPS® (3 D Movement Analysis & Performance System) is the most innovative way to effectively analyze the entire body in an efficient revealing, and evidence-based manner. This course equips you with the content, competence, and confidence to meet the needs, wants, and goals of all of your patients and clients. Unlike any other movement screen, 3DMAPS® is a movement analysis and performance system that applies to the three-dimensionality and abilities of all individuals and all of human function. 3DMAPS® boils down all of human movement (the three-dimensional interaction of joints, muscles, and proprioceptors) into six Vital Transformational Zones, adapts these movements within Mobility Analysis Movements (assessing range of motion) and Stability Analysis Movements (assessing control of motion), and empowers you to then prioritize the best and most logical progressions in serving your patients and clients better. This is a certification course.
