Occupational Therapy Anatomy Test
Bank
Course Introduction
Occupational Therapy Anatomy is a foundational course designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the structure and function of the human body as it relates to the practice of occupational therapy. The course emphasizes the musculoskeletal, neurological, and sensory systems, focusing on their roles in movement, activity, and daily function. Through lectures, lab experiences, and clinical examples, students will learn anatomical terminology, body systems, and the interrelationships between anatomy and occupational performance. This knowledge equips future occupational therapists to assess and address physical limitations, promote participation, and support clients engagement in meaningful activities.
