Master of Science - Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Technology

Technology is central to the treatment of orthopaedic and rehabilitation patients, and there is an ever-increasing range of devices designed to help improve patients' lives.

This course has been designed by experts in the fields of orthopaedics, biomechanics, and rehabilitation technology to reflect contemporary knowledge and practice in these fields. Throughout the course, students will learn how underlying principles of orthopaedic and rehabilitation technology can be applied in a clinical setting.

They'll learn about fundamental mechanics and specific engineering concepts related to orthopaedic devices and treatments. This will allow students to objectively assess technological approaches to the treatment of orthopaedic disease, trauma, and deformity.

For those from a physics or engineering background, the course starts by building students' knowledge of skeletal anatomy and physiology as well as orthopaedic and disability medicine. If students are from a clinical or biomedical sciences background, they'll start with basic rigid body and structural mechanics concepts relevant to orthopaedics and rehabilitation.
