This is a Stage 3 module which addresses the pathophysiology and pathobiomechanics of the most common clinically encountered musculoskeletal injuries. This module will present students with the most up to date pathological, physiological and biomechanical data regarding the development of the most common clinically encountered musculoskeletal injuries. The emphasis will be on an advanced understanding of how these interact to contribute to the development of these injuries. Furthermore the current best evidence regarding the treatment of each injury will be presented. The module content will be delivered in lecture format. Each topic will be presented as a separate work package. Each work package will be allocated different specific goals. These goals will be achieved through self-directed learning. All material required for self-directed learning will be posted on Brightspace.
