1. Description -
Theory and hands on practice emphasizing lower extremity stretching, strengthening, stabilization and active range of motion including goniometric measurement. Students must have reliable and ongoing Internet access to complete Quizzes, Discussions and Assignments.
Prerequisite: None
Co-requisite: None
Advisory: Not open to students with credit in H P 52G.

2. Course Objectives -
The student will be able to:
  1. identify the bones and joints of the lower extremity
  2. identify lower extremity joint motions and name the muscles causing the action(s)
  3. describe basic neuromuscular physiology in the lower extremity
  4. recognize appropriate manual resistance for lower extremity
  5. identify techniques facilitating Active Range of Motion in the lower extremity
  6. identify techniques developing strength in the lower extremity
  7. demonstrate techniques of stretching, strengthening and stabilization of the lower extremity
  8. demonstrate techniques of goniometric measurement of the lower extremity
3. Special Facilities and/or Equipment -
  1. When taught on campus: three foot x six-foot tables for Laboratory
Plastic Goniometers
  • When taught as an online distance learning or hybrid section, students and faculty need ongoing and continuous Internet and Email access.
