Musculoskeletal anatomy core syllabus for Australian chiropractic programs: A pilot study
Chiropractors and anatomy educators in Australia identified essential musculoskeletal anatomy content for chiropractic programs. Most items were deemed core to ensure safe practice and align with clinical anatomy education standards.
Area of Science:
- Anatomy education
- Chiropractic curriculum development
Background:
- Determining essential anatomy content is crucial for chiropractic training.
- Current chiropractic curricula may lack standardized anatomy content.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a pilot survey to identify core anatomy content for chiropractic programs.
- To gather perceptions from Australian chiropractors and anatomy educators.
Main Methods:
- A survey assessed anatomical structures based on essentiality for chiropractic programs.
- Items were categorized as core, recommended, not recommended, or not core based on respondent ratings.
Main Results:
- A high percentage of musculoskeletal (81.6%), vertebral column (88.8%), and lower limb/pelvic girdle (85.3%) items were rated as core.
- Upper limb and pectoral girdle items also showed a high core rating (69.4%).
Conclusions:
- Most musculoskeletal anatomy items are considered essential by Australian chiropractors and anatomy educators.
- This consensus supports curriculum development for safe chiropractic practice and standardized anatomy education.

Overview of Anatomy and Physiology
Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Components of the Skeletal System
Bone, or osseous tissue, is a hard connective tissue that forms an internal support structure for the human body. Bones shield vulnerable organs and soft tissue from external forces. For example, the vertebral bones protect and support the spinal cord.
