This course will provide a detailed coverage of the musculoskeletal, neurological and vascular anatomy of the lower limb. In addition it will cover the biomechanics of abnormal lower limb action and different approaches to gait analysis (including podiatric theories).
This course is a Mandatory Program Component for Podiatry.
| Objectives | On completion of this course students should be able to: Anatomy and Biomechanics 1. Understand the functional anatomy of the foot, ankle and lower limb. 2. Understand the principles of clinical gait analysis and apply theoretical knowledge to a clinical setting 3. Perform a gait assessment including static and dynamic function and integrate clinical findings with theoretical biomechanical knowledge to formulate an appropriate management plan 4. Demonstrate an understanding of the evolution of podiatric biomechanics and current biomechanical theory 5. Demonstrate an appreciation of the growth and development podiatric biomechanics as a discipline area and in relation to clinical studies 6. Demonstrate detailed knowledge of structural and functional abnormalities of the lower limb which result in pathology 7. Demonstrate an ability to integrate theoretical knowledge of podiatric biomechanics and gait analysis into the clinical setting |
