Overview
This module expands on the applied physics and mathematical theories studied in Biomechanical Analysis of Movement, level 4. The emphasis being on their application to the analysis of human movement. Analytic methodologies and tools such as video and force platform are developed. Structured laboratory work is used to collect quantitative data which allows for a 'hands-on' approach in the development of a biomechanical understanding of human motion. Associated issues with laboratory data collection such as accuracy, reliability and validity are explored.
