OPM-5004 Functional Anatomy & Kinesiology
This course provides intensive instruction in gross human anatomy and functional kinesiology. Through lecture and guided experiential learning, this course has an emphasis on lower limb body structures supporting neuromusculoskeletal and movement- related structures. Laboratory instruction provides small group, instructor guided experiences including human cadaver dissection, manual muscle testing and goniometry. Course content includes, but is not limited to anatomy, kinesiology and biomechanics. Issues related to human diversity are examined during instruction in functional outcome measures related to body function and body structures including such measurements as joint range of motion, postural alignment, and measures of strength.
