Overview
The development of foundation knowledge and competencies in functional anatomy complements previous anatomy and physiology units and provides the cornerstone to manual assessment of musculoskeletal conditions. This unit will provide you with the knowledge necessary to identify and describe the structural and functional requirements of the musculoskeletal system in relation to human motion for a variety of activities. The unit will develop your understanding of the anatomy of the limbs and the functional principles underpinning movement and posture, including an understanding of the performance aspects of muscle, joints, and the mechanics of movement. You will develop skills in manual location and assessment of musculoskeletal structures as they apply to rehabilitation, exercise conditioning, and general movement.

2 Presentation
Identifying sub-optimal movement patterns and their contributing factors is an important part of reducing injury risk and improving performance in sports and exercise. To accurately identify sub-optimal movements, a sound understanding of normal movement and the roles of various muscles and joints is required. Appropriate exercises are then often required to help an individual return to optimal movement and improve performance. This assessment requires you to create and record a 10-minute audio-visual presentation. In the presentation you will be required to identify and aim to correct a sub-optimal movement pattern. You will be provided with several videos on the ESSC13007 Moodle site (by Week 7 of Term), each showing an individual simulating a movement with a common sub-optimal movement pattern.
To complete the assessment, you will be required to choose one (1) of the provided videos and present an audio-visual presentation which includes the following:
- A description of the sub-optimal movement pattern in one (1) of the videos provided on the ESSC13007 Moodle site. Use supporting evidence (i.e. peer reviewed journal articles) to briefly explain why you consider this movement pattern to be sub-optimal.
- Presentation of a complete movement analysis table for the optimal, or normal movement, which includes detailing movement name(s), plane of movement, joint action(s), muscle contraction type(s), prime mover(s), and muscle(s) involved. A template of the movement analysis table will be provided on the ESSC13007 Moodle site (by Friday Week 7).
- A description of one (1) possible muscle weakness that might contribute to the sub-optimal movement you identified, and explanation of the role of that muscle in the optimal movement.
- A rationale for one (1) exercise that you could provide to strengthen the muscle you identified as weak.
- Video demonstration of you instructing a partner how to perform this exercise. Include in your demonstration:
a. The start and end position of the movement.
b. Instructions on how to complete the full exercise, including at least three (3) succinct verbal cues to ensure that your partner in the video can complete the exercise safely and effectively.
General presentation guidelines:
- Duration: You will develop a 10-minute audio-visual presentation. Any information presented beyond 11 minutes will not be marked.
- Presentation slides: You must include accompanying PowerPoint slides. These should complement the spoken aspect of your presentation.
- Font: Times New Roman or Arial.
- Language: English (Australian).
- Referencing: Follow American Psychological Association (APA) style. Reference list must be included on your PowerPoint file.
- Video: You must include a video demonstration in your presentation as per point 5 above. You should embed this in your PowerPoint file.
- Presentation recording: You must record your entire presentation, including slides, video, audio, and a self view camera. This is best recorded in Zoom conferencing software. A link to download this software for free is provided on the ESSC13007 Moodle site.
- Moodle submission (total file size must be <100MB):
1. A PDF of the final slides presented (with embedded videos removed). Please save as 1 slide per page. Ensure a list of references is included at the end of the presentation (i.e. final slide of the PowerPoint slides).
2. The recorded presentation (preference is .mp4 format). You must ensure that this video is playable. Late penalties will be applied until a playable recorded presentation is received. Should you not submit a playable recorded presentation, a mark of zero (0) will be awarded.
Week 12 Wednesday (9 Oct 2019) 5:00 pm AEST
In the absence of an approved extension, any submissions received after the due date will incur penalties in accordance with CQUniversity Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework). Submissions made after 5:00 pm AEST Thursday 29 October, 2019 will not be formally marked as maximum late penalties will have occured and a grade of 0 will be automatically applied.
Exam Week Wednesday (23 Oct 2019)
Marks and individual feedback will be made available via the ESSC13007 Moodle site no later that the set return date.
You will be assessed on your ability to identify a sub-optimal movement pattern, completeness and accuracy of your movement analysis table, correctness of weak muscle(s), appropriateness of exercise prescription, clarity of exercise demonstration, and use of appropriate supporting evidence throughout your presentation. Marks will also be allocated to presentation style (including use of PowerPoint, use of video, adherence to the time limit, and use of voice and gesture). Late penalties will be applied to submissions in accordance with CQUniversity policy, including if submissions received are unable to be viewed.
A detailed marking rubric will be available on the ESSC13007 Moodle site. Please refer to this rubric for detailed breakdown of marking allocation.

3 Practical Assessment
The structural anatomy of the human body underpins the performance of all human movement; thus, an understanding of the anatomy of the muscles and joints is fundamental to exercise and sports performance. In this practical station-based exam you will identify and describe anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system for the trunk, upper limbs, and lower limbs on anatomical models, bones, and images. This assessment will cover material (lecture and online learning material) from Weeks 1-4, (inclusive).
The practical assessment is compulsory and you must pass this assessment in order to pass the unit. The minimum pass requirement for this assessment item is 50%. Further details of the minimum pass requirement are in assessment criteria below. The station-based exam consists of approximately 25-30 stations set up around the room, each with one question. Some stations will have an identification type question, while others may have a function-based question. After a set period of time, you will rotate to the next station and repeat this until you have been at all stations. There will be one (1) student at each station at a time. You will be given an answer sheet on which to write your answers. The practical assessment is closed book so the only things you will be allowed to have on you are pens (blue or black ink only), your answer sheet, and ID (e.g. driver's licence).
This assessment will be completed during your designated Residential School/Laboratory Block session. The station-based exam is a closed book and learning material will not be permitted into the exam. You will be required to hand in you completed answer sheet at the conclusion of the station-based exam.
Week 8 Friday (13 Sept 2019)
Marks will be made available via the ESSC13007 Moodle site within 2 weeks following the last laboratory session in Mackay.
Answers will be assessed based on correctly identifying the structural and functional components of muscles, bones and joints in the trunk, back, upper limbs and lower limbs. Partial marks may be awarded where appropriate. Minor spelling errors may be permitted as long as they do not alter the meaning of the word.
The station-based exam is a PASS/FAIL assessment; therefore, requires a minimum grade of 50% in order to achieve a PASS for this assessment. If you do not achieve the minimum mark, you will be offered one (1) opportunity to re-attempt incorrectly answered questions. Re-attempts will take place during the Residential School/Laboratory Block session (e.g. during a break or free-work time).

4 Written Assessment
During the Residential School/Laboratory Block sessions, you will be required to complete a number of activities focused on identifying anatomical landmarks from anatomical models, images/diagrams and surface anatomy, describing the structure and movement of body parts, and performing movement and postural analyses. Throughout these activities, you will be required to complete a laboratory workbook. The laboratory workbook will enable you to demonstrate knowledge and skills related to each laboratory activity. The laboratory workbook will also include short answer responses relating to the theoretical and practical content delivered in this unit. This is an individual assessment, and even though you may be working in small groups, please ensure you do not copy answers from another student. A template will be provided for you to complete this assessment on the ESSC13007 Moodle site.
Week 8 Wednesday (11 Sept 2019) 5:00 pm AEST
In the absence of an approved extension, any submissions received after the due date will incur penalties in accordance with CQUniversity Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework). Submissions made after 5PM AEST Tuesday 1 October, 2019 will not be formally marked as maximum late penalties will have occurred and a grade of 0 will be automatically applied.
Week 10 Wednesday (25 Sept 2019)
Marks for the workbook will be made available via the ESSC13007 Moodle site no later than the set return date.
The laboratory workbook will evaluate your ability to identify anatomical structures, describe human movement, and apply knowledge to interpret findings. Marks will be allocated to tasks completed in each laboratory session. The laboratory workbook will consist of questions pertaining to the following areas of functional anatomy:
- Identifying anatomical structures and describing movement
- Structure and movement of the torso/axial skeleton
- Structure and movement of the upper limbs
- Structure and movement of the lower limbs
- Posture and postural assessment
- Movement analysis of resistance exercise
- Observational gait analysis
The laboratory workbook must be submitted as a Word document (.doc or .docx). Any section that contains handwritten/scanned answers will not be marked. Answers should be correctly referenced where appropriate and a list of references should be included at the end of the document. Mark allocations for each section of the laboratory workbook will be clearly outlined in the template file provided on the ESSC13007 Moodle site.

As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
