PT 662 Movement System Foundations II: Force
5 credits
This course will focus on movement system impairments associated with increasing force production. The course uses cases to integrate foundational and clinical sciences across diverse areas (such as anatomy, biomechanics, physiology, pathology, epidemiology, neuroscience, and motor learning). The examination content will include various ways to measure muscle performance in patients who are neurologically intact. The intervention content will include methods to increase physical stress or load to increase muscle strength. The relevant anatomy and biomechanics content for this course is the hip and the ankle. We will describe typical development of children including gross motor skills. Motor learning and neural control of muscle contraction will be discussed. We will introduce the Medicare system, and discuss how patients adapt to illness and begin the self-management process in chronic diseases. Students will have many opportunities to apply the content in labs, class discussions, and simulations within the course. We will synthesize content across courses in the case experience week.
