LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Fundamental concepts concerning the interaction of biological and mechanical aspects of the musculoskeletal and neuromuscular structures. Emphasis on practical application to study and teaching of skilled human movement. Laboratory sessions focus on anatomy of the musculoskeletal system with application to human movement in sport, physical education, and daily activities.
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 of the body.
- State the general architecture and functions of each type of joint of the body.
- Identify the prominent bony sites that serve as anatomical landmarks and points of attachment.
- Describe the articulating surfaces for each joint of the body.
- Distinguish connective tissue structures associated with each joint.
- Identify the movements possible at each joint and understand how joint architecture impacts range of motion.
- Identify the muscles involved in common sport movements 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
- Explain common problems and injuries found at each joint.
- Analyze human movement of the upper and lower extremities.
- Identify and discuss the role of kinesiology in sport and medical professions.
- Demonstrate knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy through laboratory activities.
