PHT2120L — APPLIED KINESIOLOGY LAB
Laboratory sessions for Applied Kinesiology (PHT2120) 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. Performance of special tests will be practiced. Palpation of surface anatomy and review of anatomical/bony landmarks occurs. Through completion of lab activities and case studies, the student correlates patient problems 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 interventions for the spine and extremities are applied with an an emphasis on correcting pathological biomechanics.
