Functional Anatomy

Catalog description

This course provides students with lectures and laboratory studies of the human musculoskeletal anatomy. The emphasis is on functional understanding of common injuries and conditions related to skeletal, muscular, vascular and central/peripheral nervous systems. The lab portion of this course provides students with a study of the form and function of musculoskeletal structures through the use of life-size anatomical models and use of various technology and learning resources. The course is designed for occupational therapy (OT) doctoral students with a focus on clinical conditions most pertinent to OT. The knowledge gained in this course is necessary for subsequent courses addressing clinical assessment and treatment across the lifespan.
