HLTH 290L - Kinesiology Lab

Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

4 hours lab per week Prerequisite(s): A grade of "C" or higher in BIOL 130L or ZOOL 141L or higher -level human anatomy and physiology course.Corequisite(s): HLTH 290. Recommended Preparation: PHYS 100L or PHYS 122L. Comment: Letter grade only. HLTH 290L may not be audited. HLTH 290L may not be taken credit/no credit. HLTH 290L provides the application of kinesiological principles. Activities in body mechanics, postural alignment, musculoskeletal system function, and gait patterns will be performed. Students are required to apply biomechanical and kinesiological principles as they relate to the job performance of the PTA, OTA, or ESS majors. Students are required to apply and correlate the principles from HLTH 290 in their lab assignments and activities. Upon successful completion of HLTH 290L, the student should be able to: Identify and locate the proximal and distal attachments, peripheral innervations, musculoskeletal actions, lever class for the skeletal muscles on the human body included in this course according to fiber arrangement, and relate it to its function. Identify and locate the joints of the body according to structure and explain the relationship between the structure and capacity for movement contributing to joint ROM and stability. Describe and perform movements in the extremities and trunk in terms of joint structure, axes of motion, muscle contractions and interactions such as the length-tension relationship, concentric, eccentric, static, isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic. Identify and demonstrate muscle action as prime mover, agonist, antagonist, synergist and stabilizer, as it relates to the concepts and principles of body mechanics, postural alignment, and the purpose of assessment. Distinguish the presence or absence of muscle mass and tone. Observe and palpate the musculoskeletal anatomy presented in lab such as bony prominences, muscles, tendons, ligaments, associated postures and gait variations. Construct mechanical principles in terms of human movement including normal gait patterns and vicarious motions to comprehend biomechanical response motion to pathology. Demonstrate fluency in kinesiology and rehabilitation terminology and layman's terms.
