This is a course designed for students pursuing a graduate certificate in Musculoskeletal Injury Management. The objective of this class is to understand normal and pathological conditions of the musculoskeletal system, specifically focusing on bone, ligament, cartilage, muscle and tendon structures, and how these passive restraint systems interact with the nervous system to create dynamic restraint. From this knowledge, students will gain advanced understanding of mechanisms of musculoskeletal injury common in sports and physical activity. The student will be required to demonstrate competencies via written examinations.
