  • PHT 2120L: Applied Kinesiology Lab

    1.00 Credits
    Florida SouthWestern State College

    Laboratory sessions for Applied Kinesiology (PHT 2120) are designed to provide opportunities for the students to practice the skills of goniometry and manual muscle testing along with special procedures. The student will also perform observation of normal and abnormal gait patterns as well as analysis of UE and LE movement patterns. Interventions are developed to address functional deficits. Palpation of surface anatomy and review of anatomical/bony landmarks occurs. Through completion of case studies, the student correlates patient problems related to various pathologies with their deficits in functional activities and gait. Competency evaluations are completed.
