More About This Course
Understanding normal muscle mechanics is key to designing effective rehabilitation programmes. To rehabilitate musculotendinous tissues, you must first understand what tissues are responsible for force production and transmission, how this occurs and how specific tissues adapt to different loads. Then you can target specific tissues through focused assessment and rehabilitation.
What You Will Learn
This course will teach you about the muscle-tendon properties that underpin force production, how to assess those properties, and design programmes to target specific tissues. Better understanding enables a more specific approach to rehabilitation to improve muscle and tendon function.
This course is designed to be completed over four-weeks - at your own pace. We suggest planning 2-3 hours per week to fully review the course material, complete the case studies, try the exercises and integrate the theoretical and practical learning into your daily practice. Learn by doing.
The resources only work if you work! All course activities are optional, but encouraged to support learning.
In this course you will learn:
