OTAS
1111 Functional Anatomy and Kinesiology
(2-6-4)
Analysis of human movement and its impact on function through the integration
of biomechanics, kinesiology and applied anatomy. Principles will be reinforced
through a problem-solving approach for understanding movement. Goniometric
measurments and manual muscle testing of the upper and lower extremities,
trunk, and head will be included.
