2. Course Objectives -
The student will be able to:
  1. identify the bones and joints of the upper extremity
  2. identify upper extremity joint motions and name the muscles causing the action(s)
  3. describe basic neuromuscular physiology in the upper extremity
  4. recognize appropriate manual resistance for upper extremity
  5. identify techniques facilitating Active Range of Motion in the upper extremity
  6. identify techniques developing strength in the upper extremity
  7. demonstrate techniques of stretching, strengthening, and stabilization of the upper extremity
  8. demonstrate techniques of goniometric measurement of the upper extremity
3. Special Facilities and/or Equipment -
When taught on campus:Three foot x Six-foot tables for Laboratory, Plastic Goniometers
