4.0

Lecture:

1 x 2 Hours Weekly

Laboratory:

1 x 2 Hours Weekly

Prerequisite(s):

12343 (v.3) OT 201 - Anatomy and Kinesiology or any previous version

Syllabus:

Investigative and practical approaches to the anatomical structure, function and integrity of the scapula, shoulder, upper limb and brachial plexus involving an integrated study of the peripheral nervous systems, osteology, arthrology and muscle function with biomechanical and kinesiological principles. Application within an occupational context.
 

Unit Outcomes:

Upon completion of this unit students will be able to - Identify and describe human neuro-musculo-skeletal and surface anatomy of the scapula, shoulder and upper limb from a three-dimensional perspective. Apply biomechanical and kinesiological principlesto analyse and measure normal movement of basic upper limb activities used in daily occupations. Explain the actions and functions of neuro-musculo-skeletal structures of the upper limb.
