Science of motion

Movement Science

Explore human movement, biomechanics and motor control—the foundations that connect physiotherapy assessment and rehabilitation.

Department overview

Understanding how the body moves.

Movement Science examines how injury, disease and dysfunction affect movement. It brings mechanical, physiological and neurological perspectives to the analysis of posture, gait and everyday activity.

Areas of focus
