HLSC 302 – Pathology for Rehabilitation
This course examines the basis and effects of pathological conditions on individuals across the lifespan.  Normal physiology is discussed first and then, building upon this foundation, pathology is explored.  Specifically, disorders of the following systems are investigated:  hematological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, immune, gastrointestinal, hepatic, urinary, renal, integumentary, musculoskeletal, lymphatic and visual.  Students will investigate the etiology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and medical and surgical management of patients with pathologies of these systems and demonstrate a general understanding of their impact on rehabilitation management.  Completion of online learning modules in Blackboard are required as part of this course.

HLSC 314 – Clinical Kinesiology and Applied Physics
This course is designed to study and analyze human movement and principles of physics in a person-environment context. Principles and theoretical concepts of physics will be presented as they relate and impact movement and function. It will emphasize an understanding of movement when it is integrated into real-life activity and applied to individual environments. Kinesiology of the upper and lower extremities and trunk will be examined, and will include clear explanations of both normal kinesiologic function and pathokinesiology of the upper extremity and trunk. Principles of physics and how they relate to human movement will be emphasized throughout the semester. Hands-on experience will give the student a practical experience for better understanding of one component integral to occupation - human movement.

BIOL 303 – Human Anatomy with Cadaver
This course will provide students with a sound working knowledge of the structure of the human body with a strong emphasis on the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The relationship between structure and function will be addressed and the integration of these body systems during normal and abnormal function will be reviewed.  Basic concepts in motion will be presented.  Course structure will focus on regional anatomy and therefore will emphasize the relationship between various structures including muscles, nerves and arteries. The laboratory is designed to facilitate the study of human anatomy through the dissection of human cadavers and examination of skeletal materials and anatomical models. Every effort will be made to correlate material covered in the lecture portion of the course with laboratory instruction and dissection.
