2. Provide clinical examples of the use of electricity, ultrasound and magnetism;
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of light;
4. Demonstrate an understanding of the difference between temperature and heat;
5. Demonstrate an understanding of predicted body segment parameters of length, mass and position of centre of mass;
6. Using good practice in calculations, apply the principles of statics to analyse forces systems acting in a number of common human postures;
7. Identify the different classes of lever in the body;
8. Demonstrate an understanding of vector quantities such as forces and velocities of motion;
summation and resolution of vectors, e.g. forces effecting human motion;
9. distinguish between kinematic and kinetics analysis;

Not applicable to this module.

• Online automated feedback

The provisional (indicative) grade of the Brightspace ICA MCQ quizzes will be automatically indicated by Brightspace on submission of the quiz by the student. The anonymous grade profile histogram of the provisional quiz results for all students will be posted in Brightspace as soon as possible thereafter, in order that students may see their standing relative to other students in the class; if possible, the histogram is intended to be posted in Brightspace prior to the end-of-trimester written exam.
