SMED 153 — Upper Extremities Assessment 2 unit(s)
Provides in-depth study and eventual mastery of the knowledge and skills necessary for certified athletic trainers to recognize and assess injuries to the upper extremity (spine – cervical, thoracic, lumbar, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and fingers). To be successful in this course, students must synthesize information presented in the lecture and laboratory and apply it to the clinical setting. Specifically, this means that studying for quizzes and tests should involve reviewing and integrating the essential ideas contained in both the lectures and the textbook.
