Availabilities:
2024 unit offering information will be available in November 2023
Unit description
This unit helps students to explore the neurophysiology of movement control and gain a greater understanding of the sensorimotor adaptations to neuromuscular conditions. Students will develop knowledge of, and practical skills related to, sensorimotor assessment techniques in sports, exercise and clinical settings.
Unit content
- Introductory concepts in motor control
- Neurophysiological basis of movement
- Sensorimotor control assessments in sport, exercise and clinical settings 1
- Sensorimotor control assessments in sport, exercise and clinical settings 2
- Motor control across the lifespan
- Motor control with injury and neurological disease
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: | |
|---|---|
| 1 | identify and demonstrate knowledge of neural structures and pathways involved in the control of movement |
| 2 | examine the effect of different physiological states and conditions on movement control and skill execution |
| 3 | conduct and interpret motor control and skill assessments applicable to exercise science practice |
On completion of this unit, students should be able to:
- identify and demonstrate knowledge of neural structures and pathways involved in the control of movement
- examine the effect of different physiological states and conditions on movement control and skill execution
