Detailed Description
Students focus on the study of the associated structures and
mechanical function of the cervical spine, cranium, thoracic
cavity and abdominal cavity. Understanding of anatomical and
mechanical function will be related to clinical assessment and
applied rehabilitation principles. Through case studies and
independent research the interrelationships between the head,
thoracic cavity, abdomen and the musculoskeletal system are
emphasized.
Program Context
|
BAHSc Athletic Therapy |
Program Coordinator: Multiple |
Building on the knowledge and
skills from previous anatomy
courses, this course describes
the anatomical and mechanical
structure and function of the
cervical spine, cranium,
thoracic cavity and abdominal
cavity. This curriculum
will be necessary for
completing future courses.
Coordinators: Kirsty McKenzie
and Paul Brisebois

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.
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. Apply appropriate terminology when describing anatomical
structures.
8. Palpate the structures of the cervical spine, cranium, thoracic
cavity, and abdominal cavity whenever possible.
9. Synthesize prior learning from previous anatomy courses.

Evaluation Plan
Students demonstrate their learning in the following ways:
|
Test 1 20%
Test 2 25%
Test 3 20%
Assignment 15%
Case Study (4 @ 5% each) 20%
---
Total 100%
Attendance is expected at all planned classes and experiences.
Extended absenteeism may be cause for review by the faculty.
Specific circumstances not withstanding, field placements should
not interfere with classroom attendance.
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 agreed to by the professor and
the student 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.
