Detailed Description
This course provides students with a detailed understanding of the
anatomical structure and function of the articular, muscular and
supporting tissue of the human body. Emphasis is placed on the study
of the associated structures and mechanical function of the cervical
spine, cranium, thoracic cavity and abdomincal cavity. Understanding
of anatomical and mechanical function will be related to clinical
assessment and applied rehabilitation principles. The course
includes a review of the musculoskeletal system of the spine as
detailed in ANAT38448.
Program Context

BAHSc Athletic Therapy |
Program Coordinator: Christopher Jackson |
Building on the knowledge and
skills from ANAT38448,
Functional Anatomy 1, this
course describes the
anatomical and mechanical
structure and function of the
cervical spine, cranium,
thoracic cavity and abdominal
cavity. Students will be
able to locate, identify,
test the organ/structure and
determine potential
pathologies of these
structures. This curriculum
will be necessary for
completing ATHL45586 and
ATHL40001, Manual Therapy
Techniques and Clinical
Assessment 4 respectively in
semester 8.

Course Critical Performance and Learning Outcomes
|
Critical Performance
By the end of this course, students will be able to describe the
anatomy of the cranium, thorax and abdomen. They will be able to
locate, identify and where applicable, test the structure. They will
be able to demonstrate how these structures are related to Athletic
Therapy.
Learning Outcomes
To achieve the critical performance, students will have demonstrated
the ability to:
1. Identify the structures of the cervical spine, cranium, thoracic
cavity and abdominal cavity to realize their importance in terms
of function and potential pathology.
2. Describe the function of the structures of the cervical spine,
cranium, thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity.
3. Recognize potential referral pain patterns for the structures of
the cervical spine, thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity.
4. Distinguish potential musculoskeletal pathologies from more
serious pathologies.
5. Instruct clients on the analysis of possible pathologies.
6. Visualize the anatomical structures of the cervical spine,
cranium, thoracic cavity and abdominal cavity.
7. Use appropriate professional language and medical terminology.
8. Palpate the structures of the cervical spine, cranium, thoracic
cavity, and abdominal cavity whenever possible.

Evaluation Plan
Students demonstrate their learning in the following ways:
|
Midterm Written Exam 20%
Final Written Exam 25%
Midterm Practical Exam 20%
Final Practical Exam 25%
Bell Ringer (2 x 5%) 10%
---
Total 100%
The final grade will be a combined total of the written examination
mark, laboratory practical and assignments. A passing grade of
minimum 60% (C) is required in both written and practical components
to successfully complete the course.
Attendance is expected at all planned classes and experiences.
Extended absenteeism may be cause for review by the faculty.
Specific circumstances no withstanding, field placements should not
interfere with classroom attendance. Lab dress must include shorts,
T-shirt or halter top, shoes and socks. Students should change for
every practical class unless informed ahead of time
TEST AND ASSIGNMENT PROTOCOL
To encourage behaviours that will help students to be successful in
the workplace and to ensure that students receive credit for their
individual work, the following rules apply to every course offered
within the Faculty of Applied Health and Community Studies.
1. The professor will specify in writing test dates and times and
due dates and any special instructions for submitting assignments
and projects.
2. Students must write all tests at the specified times. Missed
tests, in-class activities, assignments and presentations are
awarded a mark of zero. If an extension or make-up opportunity is
approved by the professor as outlined below, the mark of zero may
be revised by subsequent performance. The penalty for late
submission of written assignments is a loss of 10% per day for up
to five business days (excluding weekends and statutory holidays),
after which, a grade of zero is assigned. Business days include
any day that the college is open for business, whether the student
has scheduled classes that day or not.
3. Students, who miss a test or in-class activity or assignment or
fail to submit an assignment on time due to exceptional
circumstances, are required to notify their professor in advance
of the class whenever possible. A make-up test may be supplied
for students who provide an acceptable explanation of their
absence and/or acceptable documentation explaining their absence
(e.g., a medical certificate). All make-up tests are to be written
at a time and place specified by the professor upon the student's
return. Alternately, students may be given an opportunity to earn
the associated marks by having a subsequent test count for the
additional marks. Exceptional circumstances may result
in a modification of due dates for assignments.
4. Unless otherwise specified, assignments and projects must be
submitted at the beginning of class.
5. Students must complete every assignment as an individual effort
unless the professor specifies otherwise.
6. Since there may be instances of grade appeal or questions
regarding the timely completion of assignments and/or extent of
individual effort, etc., students are strongly advised to keep,
and make available to their professor, if requested, a copy of all
assignments and working notes until the course grade has been
finalized.
7. There will be no resubmission of work unless this has been
previously agreed to or suggested by the professor.
8. Students must submit all assignments in courses with practical lab
and field components in order to pass the course.
