Course: Physical/Occupational Therapy I (14060-I) > Section: Understanding Applied Anatomy

Explanation should include

- locating the major joints (i.e., ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, and elbow)
- describing joint movements (i.e., normal joint range of motion for ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, and elbow)
- explaining the structures and functions of the axial and appendicular skeleton
- identifying prime movers of the major joints of the body (i.e., the ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, wrist, and elbow)
- identifying planes of movement of the body (i.e., sagittal, frontal, and transverse).

Process/Skill Questions:

- How are bones attached to other bones? How are muscles attached to bones?
- What types of changes occur in the musculoskeletal system during the aging process?
- How can one differentiate between the antagonistic and synergistic muscles?
