ELEC 6224 - Advancing Skills in Osteopathy for Students

1.5 credit hours

This 21-hour course utilizes advanced objective science methods, which employ Vicon 3-D infrared cameras, a Novell pressure sensing pad system (motion testing), a 2-D digital camera measurement system, a handheld ultrasound device, and constructed pelvic and lumbar models for palpation feedback to refine, standardize, and advance fundamental palpation skills. Students will analyze data collected from modern technology to determine the accuracy and reliability of inter- and intra-examiner palpation of bony landmarks.
