Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology of the Movement System Laboratory

Catalog description

Applied Anatomy and Kinesiology of the Movement System Laboratory is designed to enhance learning of student enrolled in the lecture section of the course. The lab course includes extensive time dedicated to dissection of the human body in the Human Anatomy Lab. The laboratory components are augmented by demonstrations, videos, and hands-on activities. Collectively, the Lecture and Lab sessions will present information on correct anatomical terminology, gross anatomy, arthrology, arthrokinematics, osteokinematics, and the organization and relationships of the various structures in the movement system. Laboratory experiences are comprised of two main components. Dissection Laboratory: Students, under faculty supervision, will dissect and study human cadavers.Kinesiology Lab: This lab will review osteology, apply musculoskeletal imaging, develop observational and palpation skills, and include discussions and motion analysis of both simple and complex human movements. Efforts are made to assist course participants in utilizing the information presented in both lecture and laboratory sessions to answer medically and clinically relevant questions, preparing them specifically for upcoming courses including Orthopedic Science of the Upper Quarter (PHYT-524) and Orthopedic Science of the Lower Quarter (PHYT-525).
