Activity 2: Problem Solving

This is an assignment under SMBB 3273 (Animal Physiology) that focuses on geriatric physical disabilities as an example of diseased muscle and skeletal systems. For this topic, we were required to observe movements made by elderlies with geriatric physical disabilities and come up with explanations and strategies to improve their movement conditions. By doing so, we should be able to understand how normal systems should behave.
