Introduction to Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders

Catalog description

Management of Musculoskeletal Disorders develops the skills required to perform a musculoskeletal examination/evaluation, determine the movement dysfunction and formulate, implement and modify an intervention plan. The first semester of the sequence emphasizes examination/evaluation principles, systems review (medical screening), and the theories and techniques of mobilization. These principles will be incorporated into examination and intervention of the various joint complexes in the next two musculoskeletal courses. Students will be responsible for knowing muscle innervations, origins and insertions and components of a neurologic examination.
