PTAP 140 - Functional Anatomy

3 Credits: (2 lecture, 2 lab)

Course Description
This class is an in-depth study of the musculoskeletal system, with particular attention paid to kinesiology, peripheral innervation, and surface assessment. The class will also cover posture and gait. Motion of the human body is studied as a basis for the recognition of abnormal movement and the potential development of musculoskeletal pathologies.

Prerequisite BIOL 131, PTAP 135, and PTAP 121. Corequisite PTAP 122, BIOL 132, or permission from the instructor.

Optional:

Lippert, Lynn, and Mary Alice Duesterhause-Minor. Kinesiology Flashcards. 4th ed. Philadelphia: Davis, 2017.

Objectives
The student will be able to

A. Utilize appropriate anatomic and kinesiologic terminology.

B. Identify common regional bones and bony landmarks.

C. Identify regional muscle origins, insertions, actions, and peripheral nerve innervations.

D. Identify regional periarticular soft tissues.

E. Palpate common surface anatomy features.

F. Describe muscular analysis of normal and pathologic gait patterns, clinically correlating findings with pathologic gait patterns.

G. Describe postural analysis in normal and pathologic states, clinically correlating findings with common postural abnormalities.

Content
A. Anatomic and kinesiologic terminology

B. Surface palpation

C. Upper extremity (shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand)

D. Lower extremity (hip, knee, foot and ankle)

E. Spine, pelvis, thorax, and temporomandibular joint complex

F. Gait terminology, analysis, and pathology

G. Postural assessment and pathology

Student Evaluation
The student will be evaluated primarily via written examinations and laboratory examinations, which will include identification of structures on anatomy models and live participants. Additional evaluations may include quizzes or other written assignments.Bibliography
