Course Content

The course covers:

  • An introduction in clinical and biomechanical methodologies and techniques, both for 2D and 3D-applications. These will be discussed in function of clinical observations as well related to scientific research
  • Arthrokinematic features of the bone connections, specifically of the lower quadrant, within a broader context of biomechanics.

Teaching methods:

  • This course includes also invited lectures which may be given in another language
  • This course will use blended learning techniques, in which the student has to demonstrate an interactive  attitude and  may need to be prepared by self-study before the lectures
  • In view of this blended learning approach different teaching modalities will be used: preregistered course, tutorials, knowledge clips, discussion for a, group work (peer assessment and Think-Pair-Chair-principles) and interactive lectures
Additional info

all information will be chaired over the student learning platform

discussion fora will be orgainzed on line (forum/chat)
