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 | outline and and apply biomechanical knowledge, techniques and equipment used to qualitatively and quantitatively assess human movements, including gait |
| 2 | collect and interpret biomechanical data fundamental to gait |
| 3 | use an integrated multidisciplinary approach to perform qualitative and quantitative analyses of human movement and effectively communicate their findings |
