Choose three (3) of the following musculoskeletal systems;
• The Foot
• The Ankle and Lower Leg
• The Knee and other Related Structures
• The Thigh, Hip, Groin, & Pelvis
• The Shoulder Complex
• The Elbow
• The Forearm, Hand, Wrist, and Fingers
• The Spine
• The Head, Face, Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throat
• The Thorax and Abdomen
For EACH musculoskeletal system, you will research and compile the
necessary information (See “Required Information” below) into a research
paper. This research paper, containing the information compiled from all 3
musculoskeletal systems, must be a MINIMUM of 4-5 pages.
Following your research paper, you will create an educational aid which
can be used to briefly summarize each musculoskeletal system as well as
provide a visual of what each system looks like. (See examples of
educational aids below.)
