Anatomy of the upper limb: a partnership in learning and assessment.
Specific rehabilitation of the upper limb by the Occupational Therapist requires a sound working knowledge of the anatomy of the pectoral girdle, arm, forearm and hand. To aid the learning process the Liverpool occupational therapy students are given their assessment topics at the beginning of the course. They find a conductive partner with whom to work and practice, and together they prepare for the oral demonstration which forms the assessment test at the end of the second term. Each student completes a questionnaire at the end of the fourth term. This is designed to ascertain how confident the student felt, and how well they retain their anatomical theory of the upper limb for clinical work.
