Student Performance

\ This course is designed to give the student the information needed to understand normal and abnormal movement patterns seen with patients in physical therapy. This information is then utilized in Therapeutic Exercise as a basis for understanding why certain exercises are prescribed.

    \
\
\
\ a.    Goals: Given the course textbook, personal notes, handouts, and other material, the student should be able to:
\
\ i.      Demonstrate effective verbal and nonverbal communication skills.                                                            
\
\ ii.      Review anatomy of the human body including the nervous system, bones, ligaments, muscles, and joints.
\
\ iii.   Know the origins, insertions, innervations, and actions of all major muscles of the trunk/extremities.
\
\ iv.    Observe normal movement produced at various areas of the body and recognize how pathological conditions alter these movement patterns.                        
\
\ v.     Describe normal and abnormal gait patterns.                                                                
\
\ vi.   Recognize normal and abnormal muscle length.                                                    
\
\ vii. Discuss proper alignment of the body and effects of poor postural alignment on muscle contraction
\
\ viii.Identify normal range of motion at the individual joints.                                                 
\
\ ix.    Recognize activities that aggravate or relieve edema, pain, dyspnea, or other symptoms.          
\
\ x.    Palpate muscles and bony landmarks.                                                                            
\
\ xi.    Relate anatomical principles to the field of physical therapy.                                                  
\
\ xii. Review current physical therapy literature.
\
\  The student will know that these goals have been successfully completed if he or she earns a final grade of “C” or higher as evaluated by the faculty of the department.
\
\  
\
\ B.     Objectives: Given the course textbook, personal notes, handouts, and other material, the student should be able to do each of the following on a written and/or practical examination with an accuracy of 75% or higher as evaluated by faculty of the department:

\
\ 8.     Identify the major ligaments of the body.                                                                               
\
\ 9.     Describe the relationship between the axis and the atlas.
