This class, delivered as a three-day intensive course combining in-class discussion, dissection and palpation presents a rare opportunity to go beyond what you learned in anatomy books. This class will be held at the Institute for Anatomical Research in Denver, ColoradoT, which will give optimal opportunity for the perfect cooperative, interactive learning experience. This unique workshop is available only to qualified health professionals. Because part of the course will involve external and internal palpation of live subjects, only professionals who are licensed to do these exams will be included in the class.
The aim of the course is to give the participants a deeper understanding of the pelvis and its structures, a stronger base on which to develop enhanced internal and external palpation skills, and to challenge previously held ideas about pelvic function and dysfunction.
- Demonstrate proper identification of at least ten muscles in the pelvis, hips, abdomen and upper thigh.
- Perform specific internal palpation of seven structures of the pelvis and describe the palpation in relation to relevant landmarks.
- Perform external palpation of three key structures in the pelvic region and describe these in relation to surrounding structures (skin, fascia, muscles, nerves, vessels or organs).
- Discuss two characteristics of fascia in relation to muscles, and implications for palpation.
- Discuss six structural components of the anatomical relationship of the pelvis to the rest of the body.
- Discuss three potential implications of the anatomical relationships of the pelvic for function and for clinical practice.
Note: The actual times may vary with each program at the discretion of the instructors. Refreshments are provided; meals are on your own.
