PHT 2120L - Applied Kinesiology Lab


1 credit(s)
Prerequisite(s): PHT 2224L, PHT 1211L
Corequisite(s): PHT 2120, PHT 1350
Laboratory sessions for Applied Kinesiology (PHT 2120) are designed to provide opportunities for the students to practice the skills of analyzing normal and pathological gait, along with normal and abnormal movements of the head, spine, pelvis, UE and LE . Interventions are developed to address functional deficits. Palpation of surface anatomy and review of anatomical/bony landmarks and correlation of relevant data collection to biomechanical/functional deficits occurs. Through completion of lab activities and case studies, the student correlates patient problems related to various pathologies with their deficits in functional activities and gait. Therapeutic interventional approaches which include progression will be developed to address functional deficits. Orthotic intervention for the spine and extremities are applied with an emphasis on correcting pathological biomechanics. Practical examinations are completed.
