Transcription

1 ATr 219: Clinical Practicum in Athletic Training: Anatomy and Palpation Course Syllabus: Fall 2017 Catalog Description: Athletic Training clinical experiences designed to review human anatomical structures including origin, insertion, action, and innervation of muscles. Students will gain experience with palpation of these structures to help identify and locate anatomical landmarks. Students will also gain experience identifying bones, ligaments, and tendons. Open to athletic training students only. Students will receive a letter grade for this Course. Prerequisites: BIOL 255, BIOL 255L; enrollment in ATr 224 and ATr 225; permission of Program Director. TIME: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30am 12:20pm LOCATION: Olsen Bldg. Rm 1320 (Jacobson Athletic Training Room) INSTRUCTOR: Kristin Lage, M.S., A.T.C., L.A.T. Office: Jacobson Training Room, Rm 1320A Phone: Cell: Office Hours: by appointment REQUIRED TEXT: Trail Guide to the Body, 5 th Ed., by Andrew Biel Clinical Hour Requirement: minimum of 200 clinical hours / maximum of 400 clinical hours per semester when classes are in session Purpose of Course: Intended for first year athletic training students enrolled concurrently in ATr 224 and ATr 225 Evaluation of Injuries I course. Students will strengthen hands on experience by palpating anatomical landmarks of muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons. Student Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of the course, students will: Observe the surface anatomy; and, identify skin and fascial structures in each region of the body. Name, locate and palpate bones and bony landmarks throughout the body and identify connections to soft tissues. Name, locate, and palpate muscles from origin to insertion, discerning and describing its overall shape, edges, and fiber directions. Describe and demonstrate actions of muscles. Name, locate and palpate major joint structures, including ligaments and bursa that are common sites of pain and injury. Name, locate and palpate the landmarks within each body region that identify the location of underlying nerves, blood vessels and lymph nodes that require caution when practicing manual therapy. Utilize this knowledge to practice and think like a professional in the Allied Health discipline.

2 Department of Kinesiology Learning Outcomes: In the Kinesiology Department, Learning Outcomes comprise a common framework for each student as they matriculate through Iowa State University. The learning outcomes emphasized in academic coursework and, more specifically, in this athletic training course are listed below. Learning in some of these outcomes occurs both in and outside the Iowa State University experience. 1. Communication. Uses clear and effective written, oral, visual, and electronic (WOVE) communication techniques to foster inquiry, collaboration, and engagement in physical activity and health related settings. 2. Lifelong learning, assessment, and self reflection. Analyzes and evaluates one s own knowledge, abilities and actions relative to professional standards, seeks opportunities to grow professionally and utilizes self assessment and assessment of others to foster physical, cognitive, social, and emotional well being. 3. Content knowledge, discovery, and critical thinking.

Ethics, diversity, and social justice. Demonstrates leadership and social responsibility to improve quality of life for others and ensures equitable access for diverse groups by creating appropriate environments to initiate and maintain a physically active, healthy lifestyle. Character Expectations: 1. Integrity has been identified as the single most important characteristic of a scholar. One goal of your education is to develop professional and scholarly characteristics.
