MUSCULOSKELETAL MECHANICS AND INJURY PREVENTION
SPE3MIP
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject you will integrate applied knowledge and practical skills, using an evidence-based approach, in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury. You will be introduced to advanced theoretical understanding of the structure, function, response and adaptation of the neuro-musculoskeletal system to loading and injury. Advanced biomechanical concepts will further demonstrate the complex mechanics of human movement. In practical classes, you will apply theoretical knowledge, develop practical skills and use technology to evaluate biomechanical function and mechanical proficiency. You will apply practical skills within the scope of an Exercise Scientist to assist in the assessment of human movement, injury risk, and readiness for return-to-sport.
