Handbook

The subject will develop a student's capability to apply biomechanical theoretical concepts and methods to analyse the causes and effects of movement tasks. A problem-focused learning design will require students to review and interpret literature to construct, apply and justify the research design, which will include performing data collection, analysis, interpretation and presentation of kinetic, kinematic and/or electromyography data. At the completion of this subject, students will be able to perform a three-dimensional biomechanical analysis of a human movement task to identify biomechanical issues attributing to an injury and/or potential injury risk factor, or to improve performance to provide critical information to assist clinicians and/or coaches to develop and implement effective injury prevention and/or rehabilitation program, and/or improve performance.
