This module will be taught in 2 hours theory and 2 hours of practical per week. Students may access the material via Blackboard in advance of theory and practical classes to facilitate active learning. Lectures will discuss the module content with an emphasis on the clinical application of anatomical knowledge learnt and practiced in practical class. Practical classes will incorporate identification, description and palpation of the relevant anatomical structures of the lower limb and trunk and how they relate to human movement.
Module Aim:
To provide the student with an understanding of the functional anatomy of the lower limb and trunk and how it relates to human movement.
