Unit of study_
BIOS4188: Clinically Oriented Anatomy in Exercise
2024 unit information
This unit of study extends student undergraduate knowledge of functional musculoskeletal anatomy by applying functional anatomy principles to the prescription and analysis of exercise. It integrates principles of anatomical analysis of exercise with pathoanatomy, biomechanics, and research findings to address clinical musculoskeletal conditions. This unit will emphasise anatomical and clinical reasoning, and application of research findings in human movement analysis and exercise prescription.

At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:
- LO1. Exemplify a deep and comprehensive understanding of functional musculoskeletal anatomy and its relation to human movement
- LO2. Apply functional musculoskeletal anatomical principles to identify muscle recruitment patterns during movement and exercise
- LO3. Apply functional musculoskeletal anatomical principles to evaluate exercises designed to strengthen specific muscle groups, lengthen specific muscle groups and improve muscle coordination and dynamic joint stability
- LO4. Design functionally specific exercise programs for different clinical groups across the lifespan, considering the importance of those exercises and the risks to safety
- LO5. Assess the evidence to prescribe exercise (and dose) to target motor control, strengthening, endurance, hypertrophy, power, balance and proprioception.
- LO6. Respond creatively to challenges encountered during exercise prescription
- LO7. Communicate clearly and effectively with specialist and lay audiences
