Module Overview:
This module aims to provide the conceptual and practical knowledge in the context of biomechanical assessments. With continuous development of equipment, software, and sensors there is a demand for practitioners who have a variety of expertise and competency and who understand the need for timely feedback. Stimulus lectures will provide theoretical context and evidence-base behind certain tests, or the lack of it. Practical sessions will give a hands-on experiences conducting and reporting different biomechanical assessments. The variety of tools and assessments will provide students with a broad range of experiences of a variety of measurement and assessment tools. Specific areas of focus are injury prevention, performance enhancement, injury rehabilitation and load monitoring.
