Prerequisite(s): PHT 2224, PHT 1010
Corequisite(s): PHT 2810L
This course is designed as part of a continuum in the application of anatomy to facilitate student analysis of functional movements with specific focus on the relationship between joint structure and function. Join structure and function including tests and measures for ROM and muscular strength are reintroduced. Special testing procedures, joint play and palpation are introduced which aid the student in understanding pathological movement patterns. Normal gait is detailed as well as discussion of implications of pathological gait patterns. Orthotic interventions for the spine and extremities are presented.
