Learning outcomes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

outline and and apply biomechanical knowledge, techniques and equipment used to qualitatively and quantitatively assess human movements, including gait

collect and interpret biomechanical data fundamental to gait

use an integrated multidisciplinary approach to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of human movement and effectively communicate their findings
