Course Description and Objectives:
This Course is designed to provide the students with detailed knowledge of the limbs and back anatomy through theoretical and practical explanation first through conventional lectures and then through practical demonstration on models in labs. The course gets to all aspects of the limbs and back including of osteology, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and neurovascular innervation. It also highlights certain important areas of these body parts and how they contribute to the overall function of the part. In addition to that, the course provides students with basic clinical correlations related to the limbs and back.

1. The structure and morphology of various structures of the upper limb, lower
limb and back. This includes soft tissue structures and bones such as fascia,
muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints.
2. The neurovascular supply of various muscles, muscle compartments and joints.
This includes nerve supply, arterial supply, venous drainage, and lymphatic
drainage.
3. The boundaries, contents, and relations around and within various sub
fascial spaces of the upper limbs, lower limbs and back. This includes the
axilla, cubital fossa, carpal tunnel, anatomical snuff box, femoral triangle,
sub sartorial canal, popliteal fossa, and tarsal tunnel.
4. The relations between various muscles, tendons, bones, and neurovascular
structures in the different compartments of the upper limb, lower limb and
back.
5. The surface anatomy of the upper limb, lower limb and back.
6. Certain clinical conditions, disabilities, and / or signs whose etiology is
mainly dependent on an abnormality in the morphology of the limbs and back.
7. Certain clinical conditions, disabilities, and / or signs resulting from definitive nerve injuries such as different types of brachial plexus injuries.

1. Describe the structure and morphology of various structures of the upper limb, lower limb and back.
2. Describe the boundaries, contents, and relations around and within various subfascial spaces of the upper limbs, lower limbs and back.
3. Explain certain clinical conditions, disabilities, and / or signs resulting from definitive nerve injuries such as different types of brachial plexus injuries.
4. Identify the level of spinal segmental injuries according to the affected dermatomal cutaneous lesions and muscle paralysis.
5. Show professional behavior in the class and during class activities.
6. Use respected online sources to reach for scientific information and knowledge.
