This course will provide the student with the opportunity to understand the musculoskeletal structure and function of the human body in greater detail than presented in his/her introductory anatomy and physiology courses. Each major joint of the body will be studied. The student will learn to assess the range of motion of these joints through goniometric measurement. The prime movers (muscles) of the major joints will be examined within the context of: origin, insertion, innervation, and action. The student will learn to assess functional muscle strength by performing manual muscle testing. This knowledge will be presented in terms of normal anatomy and related to dysfunction commonly seen in physical therapy practice.
