Aims
The aim of this module is to provide training on measurement techniques in movement analysis appropriate to sport and clinical biomechanics. The module will provide the opportunity for students to develop movement analysis specific laboratory skills so that they are able to collect and interpret 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 measurement techniques in movement analysis.
2.
Conduct laboratory based protocols according to benchmark standards.
3.
Demonstrate expertise in validity and reliability as applied to measurement techniques in movement analysis.
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.

Additional Information:
This module provides an opportunity to focus onto the detailed use of measurement techniques in movement analysis. 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 movement analysis, which feeds directly into the independent research project for the MSc thesis.
