Aims
The aim of this module is to provide technical training in laboratory techniques appropriate to sport and clinical biomechanics. The module will provide the opportunity for students to develop laboratory skills so that they are able to collect and interpret biomechanical data to benchmark standards. The appropriate use of IT in data processing, analysis and communication is paramount and will therefore be a skill developed through this module.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Establish quality control indices for biomechanical measurement.
2.
Conduct laboratory based protocols according to benchmark standards.
3.
Demonstrate expertise in validity and reliability as applied to biomechanical techniques.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Key themes of this module are developing the skills required to explain measurable human movements and forces using biomechanical theories and equipment. Data collection and analysis focusing on forces, motion capture, biomechanical modelling and inverse dynamics will be central to the module theme.
Module Overview:
This module provides an opportunity to focus on the detailed use of biomechanical techniques. It aims to provide technical training in laboratory techniques appropriate to sport and clinical biomechanics. It enables you to develop laboratory skills so that you are able to collect and interpret biomechanical data to benchmark standards.

Additional Information:This module provides an opportunity to focus onto the detailed use of biomechanical techniques. Aspects of the advanced methodology in force and motion analysis will be visited along with Visual 3D biomechanical modelling and analysis software.
This module is fundamental to the collection of high quality experimental data in biomechanics, which feeds directly into the independent research project for the MSc thesis.
