This unit provides a study of current biomechanics methodology used in the analysis of human motion, with particular focus on video-based methods for analysis of sporting and clinical populations. Theoretical principles and methodologies underpinning dynamometry also comprises a major component of the unit. Students are able to descibe the various neuromuscular mechanisms involved in the production and control of movement, including topics such as muscle-tendon organisation and design, muscle geometry and the joint system. The unit includes lectures, laboratories and a major project. -- Course Website
