    Description
    The structure and organization of the human body are examined and analyzed in relation to functional movements required for work, play and self-care activities. Occupational therapy theory for treating persons who have physical disabilities is reviewed with special attention to neurological and musculoskeletal systems. Physical conditions typically seen by the occupational therapy assistant are defined and examined. Functional manual muscle testing, goniometry, and sensory perception testing are learned and practiced. Principles of kinesiology are presented in relation to functional mobility, body mechanics, energy conservation and joint protection. (CSU)
