ATR 700 - Functional Anatomy for Athletic Training

4 Credit(s) The objective of this course is to integrate the fundamental concepts of physics, clinically oriented anatomy, and the physiology of human movement. Emphasis will be placed on the relationship between the structure and function of the neurological and musculoskeletal systems. Emphasis will be placed upon the muscles involved in human movement, describing their proximal and distal attachments, blood supply, innervation, and function in both the open and closed kinetic chain. The clinical appliation of functional anatomy will be emphasized within the psychomotor component of this course, which includes fundamental techniques in musculoskeletal palpation, range of motion, manual muscle testing, goniometry, postural assessment, therapeutic exercise and movement analysis. The course meets four (4) hours per week and is open only to and required of students enrolled in the Athletic Training master’s degree program.
Co-requisites: ATR 702, ATR 704, ATR 706, ATR 708.
