Aims

The aim of this module is for students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to evaluate (1) gait through quantitative analysis and (2) the role of muscle and tendon function and adaptation that contribute to locomotor impairments.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Conduct an experimental analysis of human gait and interpret the findings
2.
Critically evaluate the role of muscle and tendon function and adaptation
