I. Course Description:

A regional in-depth study of human anatomy with major emphasis on functional anatomy. This will be accomplished though the study of prosected human specimen and surface anatomy.

II. Relationship to Curriculum Design:

This course adds basic human anatomy, joint biomechanics and functional relationships to provide a broad foundation of functional anatomy. The knowledge and understanding of basic human anatomy and functional mechanics will allow students to translate this for use in the assessment and treatment of their future patients. This course is a prerequisite to a functional understanding of the human body and how to integrate this basic knowledge of normal anatomy into the evaluation of patients’ condition.

III. Course Objectives:

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to discuss:

1. Anatomical Terminology including:

A. Anatomical position

B. Anatomical planes of movement

C. Anatomical movement

2. Osteology of all the major bones including:

A. Bony landmarks

B. Surface Anatomy

C. Muscular origin and insertion

3. Arthrology of all the major joints including:

A. Classifications

B. Anatomy of all major joints

C. Range of motion

D. Maintenance

4. Myology including:

A. Functions of all major muscles

B. Anatomy of all major muscles including origin, insertion, innervation and action

5. Neurology including:

A. Function of all major nerves

B. Pathways of the major nerves

6. Angiology including:

A. Function of all major arteries

B. Pathways of the major arteries

V. Teaching/ Learning Experience:

You will be required to participate in all aspects of class discussion and lecture. Class session will focus on developing an understanding of the human neuromusculoskeletal system both normal anatomy and normal variants. Lab will present a detailed three-dimensional investigation of human anatomy through prosected human cadavers. Though cadaver study and surface palpation students will learn the important basics of human anatomy to further their understanding of the human body and biomechanics.

IV. Evaluation Methods:

A. OT XXX– Human Anatomy for Occupational Therapists is a four (4) credit course. One grade is recorded at the end of the semester. All requirements for individual components must be completed before a grade is submitted.

B. Attendance and Participation: Students are expected to attend and be on time for all class and lab sessions. Attendance will be taken during each session. In the event a student is unable to attend they should contact the OT Dept. and leave a message. If students are aware in advance of an anticipated absence, they should inform the instructor in writing. Students are responsible for all material presented in each class and must do required reading assignments prior to class or lab session in order to contribute to discussion.
