Msc / Pgdip / Pgcert Motion Analysis in University of Dundee, UK

Msc / Pgdip / Pgcert Motion Analysis in University of Dundee

This programme is delivered by the Institute of Motion Analysis & Research within the Department of Orthopaedic & Trauma Surgery at the TORT Centre.

The MSc in Motion Analysis was launched in 2006 and is designed to provide an understanding of the principles of musculoskeletal movements and the methods to measure and analyse movements based on clinical applications by leading experts in Foot Pressure Analysis, Clinical Gait Analysis, Simulation and Modelling, and Instrumentation and Modelling.

This programme is suitable for students at graduate level from medicine, podiatry, physiotherapy, physiology, sports, science, engineering, sports exercise, and clinical health professions.

The course focuses on the application of motion analysis to activities such as clinical gait analysis, foot pressure analysis, clinical biomechanics, sports performance, ergonomics, rehabilitation, animal locomotion, film special effects and activities of daily living. 

Graduates of the course will be able to contribute to team work with a more profound knowledge of the inter-relationship between anatomy, biomechanics, movement mechanism of human performance at all levels and clinical outcome. You will be able to use these skills and knowledge to successfully increase your level of integration of anatomy, motion and biomechanics within your respective professions and disciplines at an advanced teaching and research level.

On graduation, you will be able to demonstrate the following:

• The ability to analyze the relationship between movements, anatomy, and biomechanics

• The assessment of patient gait in clinical practice, for example, cerebral palsy, stroke, amputee and orthopaedics

• The evaluation of foot deformity, shoe design and pressure for patients, for example, clubfoot children, young football players, and for shoe manufacturers

• The modelling of a musculoskeletal system such as a multi-segment foot/hand

• The techniques of modelling a musculoskeletal system, for example, a musculoskeletal model of lower limb during movements

• The analysis of musculoskeletal movement with rehabilitation device such as wheelchair propulsion or crutch supported walking

• The assessment of muscle activities in various rehabilitation and sport exercises such as cricket, climbing and rowing

• The need for continuing education for higher degree in motion analysis

Careers

This course is particularly well positioned to prepare for entry into a clinical academic career path. Those students not already in academia or the NHS will broaden their scope of being able to do so but in addition benefit from a range of opportunities in the public and private sector involving clinical treatment, sports and exercise.
