Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Master functionnal anatomy before appraoching therapy
Define
- Name the anatomical structures of the bones, joints, and muscles of the upper and lower limbs.
- Define the concepts of descriptive, topographic, and functional anatomy.
- Define the concepts of joint stability and mobility.
- Explain the functional differences between the upper limb and the lower limb in relation to their anatomy.
- Explain the action of the muscles of the locomotor system.
- Explain the potential for joint mobility in relation to their anatomical structure.
- Describe the anatomical features that allow for joint stability.
- Rename/schematize the elements of anatomical sections as a tool for integrating structures in space.
- Name/label the anatomical elements on a diagram.
- Use anatomical sections to represent the three-dimensional organization of the structures of the locomotor system.
This course is an introduction to the basics of descriptive, topographic, and functional anatomy of the locomotor system. At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Identify and name the main bony, joint, and muscular structures of the upper and lower limbs.
- Define and distinguish the concepts of descriptive, topographic, and functional anatomy, as well as the concepts of joint stability and mobility.
- Describe the spatial organization of the structures using anatomical sections.
- Represent and annotate anatomical structures using sections and diagrams.
- Explain muscle actions and joint properties.
- Distinguish the functions of the upper and lower limbs based on their anatomy.
- Use anatomical sections to represent the three-dimensional organization of the structures of the locomotor system.
