DPT 500 - Human Anatomy I
4 credit(s)
Advanced study of the gross structure and histology of the human body. Special emphasis is placed on the musculoskeletal, nervous, cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The course is organized by regions of the body, with the emphasis on the gross anatomy of each region. In addition, the microstructure specific to the tissues discussed will be studied. The course has a lecture and a laboratory component. The lab sessions will involve regional dissection of cadavers, and parallel the information covered in the lecture material. DPT 500 encompasses upper and lower extremities, including bones, joints, muscles, nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues.

DPT 510 - Clinical Biomechanics I
4 credit(s)
DPT 510 and DPT 511 are designed to provide the student with the biomechanical and histological basis for understanding normal and pathological movement. All of DPT 510 and part of DPT 511 are organized by anatomical region, and although each region is discussed as a unit, every effort is made to illustrate continuities among regions. The discussion of each region includes sections on normal biomechanics and the application of biomechanics to pathological motion. Each section incorporates units on goniometry, muscle testing, stretching, design of exercise programs and palpation. The remainder of DPT 511 covers posture, scoliosis, and gait analysis
