Clinical Anatomy 2
PT 423

10 credits
Normal course entry requirements
Extensive
 The students will acquire a detailed knowledge of the
anatomy of the upper quadrant
 They will be able to compare and contrast this with the
anatomy of the lower quadrant.
At the end of this module the student should be able to :1. Describe the anatomical structures of the upper quadrant
and explain their actions
2. Explain how the structure of the upper quadrant is related
to its function
3. Palpate the superficial structures of the upper quadrant
and lower quadrant
4. Carry out an anatomical analysis of the functional
movements of the upper quadrant and lower quadrant
5. Compare and contrast the structure and function of the
upper quadrant to that of the lower quadrant
The content of the module will consist of :
 Detailed study of the osteology of the upper quadrant
 Detailed study of the myology of the upper quadrant
 Detailed study of the arthrology of the upper quadrant
 Overview the peripheral nerve supply to the upper
quadrant
 Overview the blood and lymphatic supply to the upper
quadrant
 A review the practical component of Anatomy and
Biomechanics (PT 413)
Weekly pattern of study
 Students are expected to prepare for the weekly sessions
and are provided with detailed objectives for each taught
session
 1 hour key point lecture on Camtasia
 2 hours practical / tutorial session in groups of 18
students
Students are provided with a learning package on
StudentCentral which provides detailed outlines and
objectives for the study for each week and are also directed
towards recommended texts to assist in their independent
study. Students have access to a library of bones and
anatomical models, CD ROM resources and online resources.

at the end of the module and will include both upper and lower
quadrant anatomy. Students will be assessed on their ability
to palpate a given region of the body and will be questioned
on their theoretical knowledge of the anatomical structures in
that area. There will also be an assessment of the student’s
ability to analyse a functional movement. (LO 1-5)
This module continues the study of anatomy started in
Anatomy and Biomechanics (PT 413) and concentrates on
the detailed study of the bones, joints and muscles of the
upper quadrant. The practical skills of identifying the relevant
structures in the living body are taught in parallel with the
theory. Measurement of joint range of motion using a
goniometer will be covered. Revision of palpation of the lower
quadrant is also included in this module and the students are
also required to integrate their understanding of the structure
and function of both quadrants.
