PTA 116 - Kinesiology 2 3 CR
This course will provide an in-depth study of the anatomy of the neuromuscular and respiratory systems as it relates to physical therapy. Emphasis is on the application of anatomy to an understanding of normal and abnormal human movement in exercise, locomotion, and other motor skills of daily living. Theory and techniques of manual muscle testing, stretching, and respiratory physical therapy techniques are topics included during the semester. Students take part in classroom laboratory practice sessions as they learn to apply their skills. Lab Fee
Additional Information: Formal admission to the Physical Therapist Assistant Program required.
Requisites: Take PTA 112 and BIOL 201 with at least a grade of C.
