| Description : | This course provides an introduction to epidemiology of the workplace. The course covers concepts of epidemiology, including relative risk, odds ratio, confidence limits, confounding, bias, types of epidemiological studies and their design. Interpretation of the results of epidemiology courses. A significant feature of the course is the study of case studies in various occupational health and safety areas. | | | | | Objectives : | Develop an understanding of:
- the macro and microscopic nature of injury;
- the healing response and its effect on tissue properties;
- the biomechanics of work tasks;
- the exercise response and train;
- pain and its management.
- integrate this knowledge and apply it to rehabilitation.
