Course Description
This course is designed to provide a review of gross shoulder anatomy to physical therapists so they can apply it to their clinical practice. This course will emphasize examination of dissected human cadavers and will be supplemented with class-room lectures. The focus of the review will be on musculoskeletal, articular, nervous, and vascular systems. The role of anatomical structures as they relate to injury mechanism, evaluation, and rehabilitation will be emphasized.
Learning Objectives
• Examine human cadavers and understand the normal variations and anomalies that exist between human bodies.
• Identify and locate anatomical structures in the shoulders of the cadavers, particularly those relating to the musculoskeletal, nervous, and vascular systems.
• Describe the functional application of anatomical structures in the shoulder.
• Recognize the role of anatomical structures in the shoulder as they relate to clinical practice of physical therapy.
