Clinical Mechanics in Musculoskeletal and Neurological Populations

This graduate course will explore the biomechanical and motor control mechanisms that contribute to musculoskeletal and, where appropriate, neurological pathology and injury. This course will be delivered in a clinical case-based format. Students will review, critically appraise and apply neuromechanical methods (e.g., electromyography, motion capture, force measurement, modeling) to gain a deeper understanding of the pathology, assessment, and/or treatment of a clinical condition. Clinical conditions will include musculoskeletal, joint, and neurological pathologies resulting from disease and/or injury.
