Functional Anatomy of the human motion system will be taught to serve a back bone for the functional assessment. Functional Evaluation is to interpret the objective and subjective data through personal interview, medical history, tests, examinations, and assessments for the purpose of determining neuromusculoskeletal disorders and the appropriate course of treatment. This course will offer basic principles, skills and procedures to evaluation of injuries, disabilities and pain. The evaluation procedures include posture evaluation, mechanical measurements, manual and mechanical methods of muscle testing, systematic orthopedic evaluation procedures, and functional outcome testing.

The students of this class were not too much, so that there were more time available to emphasize practice and to improve assessment skills.
