Workshop 3: Digital assessment
Video gait analysis:
Why is teaching biomechanics to allied health students hard?
Biomechanical principles underpin many of the musculoskeletal management strategies provided to our patients. However, it is also not uncommon to hear allied health professionals and students say that ‘Biomechanics is hard’. This informal interactive workshop delves into some of the possible reasons why this may be, and offers clinician friendly suggestions on how we can use technology to enhance our clinical assessments.
