Summary

What you’ll be able to do

  • Find and name anatomical structures, regions, and systems critical in clinical practice.

  • Integrate anatomical and biomechanical principles to explain occupational function and dysfunction.

  • Predict symptomatic presentation given atypical anatomy.

  • Assess signs and symptoms related to clinical presentations commonly observed by occupational therapists.

  • Critically appraise clinical cases with the goal of forming and defending your opinion about function, pathology and occupational performance.

  • Create a representation of anatomical structures, functions and networks that further the understanding of lay individuals

Student experience

the class

Highlights anatomical structures and biomechanical principles most relevant to the practice of occupational therapy. Areas of the body deemed most significant to the practice of Occupational Therapy (OT) will be given greater time and explored with greater depth. As critical thinking is an essential component of clinical practice, focus learning on function and thinking through how anatomy influences clinical care, daily occupations, and pathology.
