This module addresses how the musculoskeletal system functions to perform whole body tasks, such as locomotion and keeping balance. It will focus on healthy normal functioning but also on sports performance, disease, and animal locomotion. The module introduces the basic principles and techniques from anatomy, physiology and mechanics that underlie musculoskeletal functioning, and applies these to gait, other daily activities, clinical biomechanics and animal locomotion. The module uses a range of online and in-person delivery methods. Assessment is a single portfolio consisting of five varied tasks which are presented in a staggered way throughout the semester.
