- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) Licensed physical therapist with advanced degree in discipline.
- Objectives: For biomechanics, applied kinesiology, and functional anatomy:
1. Discuss kinematic and kinetic terms and their measurement units (eg: center of gravity, center of mass, stress, and strain).
2. Use mechanical concepts such as compression, tension, shear, friction, mechanical joints and pulleys in the interpretation of physical therapy tests and measures and interventions.
3. Apply the following osteokinematic and arthrokinematic principles to articulations of the spine and extremities:
a. Degrees of freedom
b. Instantaneous center of rotation
c. Open and closed pack positions
d. Physiological and accessory joint movements
e. Rule of convex and concave
4. Describe basic tissue material properties of bone, skin, ligaments, tendon, muscle,articular cartilage and fibrocartilage related to their composition and structure:
isotropic, anisotropic, behavior to loading, components of stress-strain curve.
5. Explain the basis of commonly used physical therapy tests from a kinesiology, anatomical and biomechanical perspective (e.g. manual muscle tests, goniometry, special tests)
6. Analyze the anatomical basis for movement and function.
For exercise physiology and histology:
7. Identify:
a. Nutrient contributions to Metabolism and how training affects nutritional requirement
b. The contributions of muscle architecture to force production
c. Common mechanism(s) of exercise and physical activity induced delayed muscle soreness
8. Explain:
a. The influence of initial fitness level, frequency, intensity, duration, mode, volume and gender on training response
b. The mechanism(s) of Overtraining and the concept of exercise/activity periodization.
c. Muscle length-tension and velocity-force relationships
d. How exercise/physical activity influences body core temperature
e. The effect of sweating on metabolism
9. Differentiate:
a. Between nutrient contributions to metabolism and how training affects nutritional requirements
b. Between the effects of anaerobic and aerobic exercise/physical activity on acid-base balance
c. Between the Functional characteristics of differing motor units as they apply to exercise/physical activity
d. Between upper and lower extremity muscular synergists, agonists, antagonists
e. Between the principles of physical conditioning programs including Overload, Specificity, Individual Differences (Somatotypes), Progression, Reversibility
f. Between “Safe” and “Unsafe” exercise during pregnancy
10. Outline/Diagram:
a. The effects of Anaerobic and Aerobic exercise/physical activity on Systolic and Diastolic blood pressure
b. The physiologic factors which occur in response to Resistance Training
c. The Metabolic and Physiologic Adaptations of the Anaerobic and Aerobic Energy Systems to exercise/physical activity
d. The Thermoregulatory Mechanisms that conserve or dissipate heat
e. The Physiologic effects of Aging on Exercise/Physical activity performance capability
11. Describe:
a. Methods of Human Energy Expenditure Measurement
b. The effects of the Valsalva Maneuver on Pulmonary Ventilation
c. The Effects of exercise/physical activity on Muscle Fiber Metabolism and ultrastructure
d. Muscle Force Gradation and Neuromuscular Fatigue Mechanisms
For motor control, learning, and development:
12. Compare and contrast theories of normal and abnormal motor control, motor learning, and motor development.
13. Analyze the action and coordination of specific muscles during normal gait.
14. Explain basic kinetics and kinematics of normal gait.
15. Analyze the neuromusculoskeletal impairments resulting in common gait deviations (eg: scissoring, lurch, drop foot, Trendelenberg, antalgic)
16 Describe muscle imbalances and movement deficits resulting from peripheral nerve injuries and disease.
