The Anatomy & Kinesiology Exam is designed to evaluate a candidate’s foundational knowledge of human anatomy and movement science, which is essential for health, rehabilitation, and therapy professionals. This exam focuses on the structural and functional relationships of the musculoskeletal system, joints, and tissues as they relate to posture, movement, and biomechanics.

Topics covered include the anatomy of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves, as well as the principles of kinesiology such as joint motion, muscle function, and body mechanics. The exam also assesses the candidate’s understanding of how these systems work together during physical activity, therapeutic intervention, and daily functional tasks.

This exam is particularly beneficial for students, physical therapy assistants, occupational therapy assistants, and other allied health professionals who must apply anatomical and biomechanical knowledge in clinical practice. A thorough grasp of these concepts ensures safe and effective treatment planning and execution in rehabilitation settings.

Candidates should be familiar with anatomical terminology, planes of movement, muscle origins and insertions, and joint types. Mastery of these concepts not only enhances academic and licensure exam performance but also supports the development of sound clinical reasoning in professional practice.
