Subject description
This subject aims to extend the student's knowledge of human anatomy, biomechanics and human neuromechanics so they can apply this knowledge in learning how to quantitatively assess and interpret human movement. Emphasis within the subject will be directed towards expanding the required knowledge and skills to be able to measure, … For more content click the Read More button below.
