Not available in 2014
Previously offered in 2013
Functional anatomy extends knowledge gained in the foundation anatomy course focusing on the musculoskeletal system and the analysis of movement. A comprehensive coverage of the musculoskeletal system, articulations and the neural system is undertaken. The application of kinesiological principles to the analysis of movement and the description of movement in anatomical terms will be undertaken.
| Objectives | On successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the components of the musculoskeletal system of the human body; 2. Palpate and mark anatomical landmarks; 3. Identify kinesiological principles to explain movement and analyse movement in anatomical terms; 4. Describe the effects of exercise, immobilisation and injury on the musculoskeletal system; 5. Discuss the role of body proportions on sport performance and talent identification; 6. Analyse results from anthropometric, flexibility and posture testing and present a summary of actions required. |
