Course details
Biomechanics of Gait: This unit explores the fundamental principles of human movement, focusing on the kinematics, kinetics, and biomechanics of gait. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interactions between the musculoskeletal, nervous, and cardiovascular systems during walking. •
Gait Analysis Techniques: This unit introduces various methods for analyzing gait patterns, including video analysis, 3D motion capture, and pressure plate measurements. Students learn to apply these techniques to assess gait abnormalities and develop strategies for rehabilitation. •
Neurophysiology of Gait Control: This unit delves into the neural mechanisms that regulate gait, including the role of the central nervous system, peripheral nerves, and muscles. It provides insights into the neural control of gait and the impact of neurological disorders on walking patterns. •
Orthotics and Prosthetics for Gait Rehabilitation: This unit covers the design, fabrication, and application of orthotics and prosthetics to support and enhance gait in individuals with mobility impairments. It emphasizes the importance of proper fitting and adjustment to ensure optimal gait outcomes. •
Pathophysiology of Gait Disorders: This unit examines the underlying causes and consequences of gait disorders, including the effects of neurological, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular conditions on walking patterns. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex interplay between gait, posture, and balance. •
Biomechanics of Running and Jumping: This unit explores the biomechanics of running and jumping, including the kinematics, kinetics, and biomechanics of these high-impact activities. It provides insights into the unique demands of these activities and the adaptations necessary for optimal performance. •
Gait and Balance in Older Adults: This unit focuses on the changes in gait and balance that occur with aging, including the effects of osteoporosis, arthritis, and other age-related conditions. It provides strategies for promoting healthy aging and preventing falls in older adults. •
Gait Recognition and Analysis in Sports: This unit applies gait analysis techniques to sports performance, including the assessment of running, jumping, and other athletic activities. It provides insights into the biomechanics of sports-specific movements and the use of gait analysis in sports training and rehabilitation. •
Assistive Technology for Gait Support: This unit introduces various assistive technologies, including wearable devices, exoskeletons, and robotic systems, designed to support and enhance gait in individuals with mobility impairments. It emphasizes the importance of proper fitting and adjustment to ensure optimal gait outcomes. •
Research Methods in Gait Recognition: This unit covers the research methods used to study gait recognition, including experimental design, data collection, and data analysis. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the research process and the application of gait analysis in various fields, including sports, rehabilitation, and healthcare.
