Study Guide

Objective

The student is able to:

- Identify bony landmarks and superficial muscles with palpation
- Identify joints by palpation, knows movement scales and understands functions of superficial muscles
- Understand basics of joint movement measuring and muscle testing
- Can perform joint movement measuring by different meters and muscle testing in practice
- Understand basics of walking biomechanics and identify walking phases
