Staffordshire University offers Master’s and MPhil/PhD programs in Clinical Biomechanics. These programs are excellent choices for students planning to continue their education in the field of Biomechanics and learn the practical aspects applicable to routine practice.

The team at Staffordshire University is one of the first group to offer postgraduate qualification (MSc) in Clinical Biomechanics for Allied Health Professionals. There are several unique and structured Postgraduate modules offered for various health professionals such as:

• Gait Analysis
• Spine Biomechanics
• Diabetic Foot Biomechanics

In addition to the postgraduate programs, the team aids in providing continued education through continuing professional development (CPD) workshops and training days in the areas of clinical, sport, and exercise biomechanics and disciplines related to musculoskeletal sciences and rehabilitation. We have a substantial track record of scientific peer reviewed journal publications and presentations at conferences, both at national and international levels. We enhance and expand research through collaborations and partnerships with researchers across various countries. These academic and industrial partnerships are constantly broadening across the EU and beyond.

Furthermore, kinematic and kinetic analysis for assessing clinical conditions and to develop treatment protocols and assistive devices are being offered along with musculoskeletal clinics (clinical biomechanics involving all musculoskeletal clinical professionals) for the local clinical practitioners and patients. Our research services have a role within the local health trusts and provides specialist gait analysis services. Typically, the staff at the laboratory will assess the gait pattern and the pressure distribution under the feet to inform the clinical management of various musculoskeletal conditions. The highlight of our clinic is the footwear provision which is not provided anywhere else in the country. We also offer a wide range of Gait and Movement Analysis testing for the prescription and assessment of prostheses and physical therapy intervention both in clinical and sporting situations.
