PT 611 Structure & Function I
This tutorial-based course covers the structure and function of the normal and impaired musculoskeletal system. Normal anatomy and biomechanics are examined in the context of patient cases with common musculoskeletal problems to understand the tissue and organ stressors (including environmental interaction, aging, and disease processes) that result in physiological responses that may then lead to or exacerbate pathology, impairment, or dysfunction. Format: two three-hour tutorials and two large-group discussions (75 minutes each), plus one two-hour laboratory per week.
