PT 8876 - Advanced Arthrology

(1 credit)

An advanced self-directed deep joint dissection course. Students will be assigned either a peripheral joint or spinal region to dissect. Students will palpate, dissect, and describe in detail the anatomy and arthrology of their assigned joint/spinal region. Each student will systematically destabilize their pro-section and in the process create an orthopedic instability. Ligamentous stress testing and translation joint play testing will occur during the destabilization of the pro-section.

Comments: Formerly PT 526.
