CPTR 205 - Fundamental Kinesiology
PREREQUISITES/COREQUISITE: HLHS 102 - Essential Anatomy and Physiology or APHY 101 - Anatomy and Physiology I
PROGRAM: Healthcare Specialist
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 3
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2019
A focus is placed on how muscles, bones, and joint structures produce human motion, originating from a sedentary form to a physically active state. Students will focus on analyzing movements of the upper and lower extremities to become proficient in evaluating client movement. Students will be required to demonstrate practical applications pertaining to the study and teaching of the various skilled human movements.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Utilize appropriate anatomical terminology to describe the musculoskeletal structures.
- Discuss the role of kinesiology in physical activity, exercise, and activities of daily living.
- Analyze human movement of the upper and lower extremities found commonly in physical activity, exercise, and activities of daily living.
- Identify the muscles involved in common methods of physical activity, exercise, and activities of daily living.
- Describe the origins, insertions, and actions for skeletal muscles involved in movements of the:
- Shoulder girdle
- Shoulder joint
- Elbow joint
- Wrist and hand
- Head and neck
- Trunk/abdomen
- Pelvic girdle
- Hip joint
- Knee joint
- Ankle and foot
- State the general structural design and functions of each type of joint of the body.
- Identify the movements possible at each joint.
- Understand how joint structure and postural alignment impacts range of motion and movement.
- Distinguish the difference between the several types of connective tissues.
- Understand the function of connective tissue throughout different movements.
- Explain common problems found at each joint related to physical activity, exercise, activities of daily living, and overuse injuries.
