Associated Term:
Spring 2014
Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Differentiate between static and dynamic posture. 2. Trace the development of the postural curves and the influence of the position of the pelvis on these postural curves. 3. Define postural sway and the important role of the ankle plantarflexors and dorsiflexors. 4. Identify key points of alignment for observing standing posture from multiple views 5. Discuss implications of common postural deviations in terms of stress or structures around the spine. 6. Define the different phases of respiration and key muscle groups responsible for these different phases. 7. Correlate thorax movement with the mechanics of inspiration an expiration. 8. Identify bones, landmarks, ligaments, joints, muscles, and nerves for the neck and trunk. 9. Identify bones, landmarks, ligaments, joints, muscles, and nerves for the TMJ joint. 10. Describe joint motions that occur at the upper extremity joints in terms of appropriate plane and axis and the range of degrees of normal motion. 11. Identify bones, landmarks, ligaments, joints, muscles, and nerves for the upper extremity joints. 12. Discuss the arthrokinematic motion of glide, spin, and roll that provide for effective glenohumeral movement, and the significance of lateral rotation with full shoulder abduction to avoid impingement. 13. Differentiate between the two basic types of prehension (power and precision) and be able to demonstrate examples of each based on a desired activity. 14. Assess postural dysfunction and apply the principles of kinesiology within the practice of physical therapy to provide education and optimize alignment for the subject 15. Develop methods of exercise progressions for the upper and lower extremities. Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
