Anatomical Basis of Musculoskeletal Injury

Catalog description

This course uses a regional approach to study the gross anatomical structures of the human body. Emphasis is placed on the musculoskeletal system and its associated neurovascular elements. Synovial joint structure and supporting soft tissue systems will be covered in detail. The thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities will also be explored. Aspects of structure and function as they relate to physical training performance and clinical correlates will be highlighted throughout the course. Experiences with dissection of human cadaveric specimens highlight spatial associations among structures and anatomical variation.
