RHS 221

Course Description:

            The course wills techniques and clinical uses of the various techniques of muscle testing and evaluation through practical demonstration and practice sessions. Attention of the students will be drawn to the specific clinical application of each test, position of patient, body mechanics, effect of muscle weakness and contracture, and muscle anatomy. Teaching and learning in this course will be through lectures and practice in the laboratory.
