Course Description

Course is for students with physical disabilities who want to learn methods of increasing stability, decreasing fear, improving posture, recovering loss of balance & getting up from a fall. Students must participate in all challenges & balance assessments. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC: Credit Limitation: Any or all of these ATHL, DANC, KIN, MARA, PE Activity courses combined: maximum credit, 4 units.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Execute proper whole body awareness, gait training, strength and stretch techniques needed for improvement in balance and mobility
2. Self-assess proper body alignment, identify fall risks, improve confidence and implement appropriate adjustments.

Course Objectives

• 1. Perform an individualized balance and gait enhancement program.
• 2. Demonstrate improved confidence through self-efficacy survey pre-post
• 3. Demonstrate increased awareness of posture and proprioception through self assessment and correction
• 4. Demonstrate improved flexibility in pre- and post- flexibility assessments.
• 5. Demonstrate improved muscular strength and endurance through increased repetitions of selected exercises.
• 6. Demonstrate improved balance, gait and agility by positive changes in pre- and post screening.
