Laboratory Techniques In Rehabilitation Science

The purpose the course "Laboratory Techniques in Rehabilitation Science" is to introduce students to the processes and methodology behind data acquisition and processing of commonly used systems in the fields of musculoskeletal health and rehabilitation science, with an emphasis on equipment and procedures used in the Sports Medicine Research Institute. The study of rehabilitation science involves the use and understanding of many different methodologies and data sources. The main aim of this course is to provide students with background and practical knowledge on how data, such as analog signals (i.e. force transducers, accelerometers, movement data), neuromuscular characteristics, and clinical measures are acquired, the processes used to process and refine such data, and how to interpret the results in a rehabilitation science application. Students will be exposed to common methods used to collect data in rehabilitation science through classroom and laboratory experiences.
