Dynamic Joint Stability/ 2007
Course Number: 428 M1590
Course Name: Seminar in Dynamic Joint Stability
Course Credit: 1
Instructors: Wang S-F Office：Room 310, phone: 33228139
Year Level: Master students
Schedule & Place : Wednesday
Practice
Room in the school of physical therapy
Course Description:
The classical approach to understand the structure and function of the
human body is based on anatomical dissection. This approach has gained much
information about the global muscles of the body. Recent emphasis is on the deep core
muscles and their roles in dynamic joint stability. The focus of this seminar is to target
this current issue. The structure and function of the cervical spines will be
discussed in terms of morphology, biomechanics and motion analysis. Therapeutic exercise, surgical intervention,
and biomechanical model will be reviewed and discussed.
General Objectives of the Course:
After completing this course, the students would be able to
1.
understand the
structure and function of cervical spines.
2.
understand the
biomechanics and motor control of the static and dynamic joint stability.
3.
understand the
surgical approaches and biomechanical model of the cervical spines.
4.
understand the
role of deep muscles in joint stability.
5.
understand the
development, current issues, and future trends in basic and clinical approaches
of cervical spines.
