Practical:100
Total Hours/ Week:8 hours
Lecture:4 hours /week
Practical:3 hours/ week

Method of Assessment:Written, Oral, Practical
Course Description:
It is designed to provide students with the working knowledge of the structure of the human body which is essential foundation for their clinical studies. Studies are concerned with the topographical and functional anatomy of the limbs and thorax. Particular attention is paid to the muscles, bones and joints of the regions. The abdomen, pelvis, perineum, head and neck and central nervous system (CNS) are studied with particular reference to topics of importance to physiotherapists. The study of the CNS includes detailed consideration of the control of motor function.
