Structure          

Recall the structural dependence of the muscle upon fascia as the foundational structural component.

 

 

 

Types

Identify a muscle’s type based on fiber direction.

 

 

 

Function                      

Demonstrate the action of each muscle, based on the function of its associated joint.

 

 

 

Categorize muscles into groups in terms of Antagonists and Synergists

 

 

 

Origins and Insertions

Define the terms origin, insertion, and reverse reaction.

 

 

 

Identify each muscle’s bony attachments as origin or insertion, based on the amount of movement at those attachments.

 

 

 

Palpation         

 

Demonstrate the correct palpation of a muscles bony attachment sights and belly using isometric muscle contraction. 

 

 

 

Utilize the following client positioning to allow for the easiest access for palpation of a muscle: supine, prone, and laterally recumbent,

 

 

 

Identify endangerment site and define neurovascular structures located within these sites in order to execute safe palpation of muscles.
