Department of Kinesiotherapy & Physical Diagnosis Lab

This lab is based on anatomical and physiological & related kinesiological principles for normal human movement and for the efficacy in the assessment methods for mobility, muscle strength. Students have the opportunity to develop and acquire understanding of physiological responses to various types of training and develop skills of exercise programs (on models). Exercise components of muscle strength, flexibility, balance, breathing and gait are examined. Evidence of appropriate, safe and effective exercise design and proper exercise biomechanics and prescription parameters are addressed with all interventions.

Departmental Objectives

1. Apply the biomechanical principles for the efficacy in the assessment methods for mobility, muscle strength.

2. Acquire the skill of subjective and objective assessment of individual & group muscle strength.

3. Acquire the skills of subjective and objective methods of muscle strengthening.

4. Describe the physiological effects, therapeutic uses, merits / demerits of various exercise modes including Hydrotherapy.

5. Demonstrate various therapeutic exercises on self & acquire the skill of application on models with Home Programs.

6. Analyze normal Human Posture [static & dynamic].

7. Acquire the skill of functional re-education techniques on models.

8. Acquire the skill of Balance and Coordination Exercises.

9. Acquire the skill of using various walking aids for Gait Training.

10. Acquire the skill of demonstrating breathing exercises and retraining on self and others.

11. Acquire the skill of demonstrating Postural Drainage on models.
