Clinical Biomechanics and Diabetes. Staffordshire University

This award is designed for clinical practitioners involved in therapeutic interventions based on biomechanics. Diabetes affects the musculoskeletal system and in order to effectively treat a patient suffering from all types of diabetes it is necessary to understand the mechanics and pathomechanics of the musculo-skeletal system as well as the mechanics behind the condition that they are treating. This requires a good knowledge of the principles of clinical biomechanics, the effects of diabetes and its relationship to pathomechanics. This award draws heavily on clinical experts using specialist lecturers managed by a small team of module co-ordinators.
