The focus of this course is on the integration of anatomy, biomechanical, neuromuscular, and sensory principles to determine the effects of movement during occupational performance as they relate to specific motor skills as outlined by the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework. The etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, and related treatment of different orthopedic conditions across the lifespan will be introduced and their influence on occupational performance skills will be discussed. The person-environment interaction will be examined through the application of ergonomic principles in work and daily living settings.
