This
module group contains four modules of which you will be
required to study at least two. The aim of these modules
is to ensure that students from different backgrounds
achieve the necessary level of competence in their non-specialist
subjects prior to studying the other modules in the course.
The modules are listed below along with their relevant
tutors. |
1.
Skeletal Anatomy & Physiology
2. Orthopaedic & Disability Medicine
3. Engineering Mechanics
4. Properties & Mechanics of Materials
|
| Biomechanics
(30 SM SCQF Credit Points) |
|
This
module group contains three modules. You will be required
to study all of these modules. The aim of these modules
is to introduce you to the basic principles of biomechanics
and measurement which are required for a complete understanding
of the assessment, prescription and design of orthopaedic
and rehabilitation devices. |
1.
Skeletal Mechanics
2. Tissue Mechanics
3. Biomechanical Measurement Systems |
| Rehabilitation
