HLSC 438 - Applied Functional Anatomy

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: PHED 289 with a minimum grade of “C”; restricted to students enrolled in a Health Science concentration
This course is designed to develop an understanding of human musculoskeletal function. The course presents the principles of movement control, biomechanics, muscle and joint physiology, and joint structure that govern normal function. These principles are applied to the upper and lower extremities as well as the spine. Normal posture and gait are also explored. This course emphasizes normal function. This is the foundation for understanding deviations from the normal that lead to pathological function. Offered annually.
