Clinical Biomechanics
EXSS5051
A review of kinetics, work, power and efficiency will be undertaken at the beginning of the unit in preparation for the applications. The course offers an introduction to some of the issues in clinical biomechanics, including: gait, activities of daily living, musculoskeletal and injury biomechanics. It will further develop the understanding of biomechanics through clinical applications, including normal and pathological gait. Material properties of tissues and the influence of exercises and rehabilitation on tissue development and health will be discussed. The mechanical properties of tissues and anatomical structures will be related to injury occurrence and prevention. This unit of study will be offered on campus supported with Blackboard resources.
