This six-week module aims to provide you with an outline of core knowledge relating to normal and abnormal development, and the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system. By making use of example cases, this module aims to place this core knowledge in a clinical context and to examine the impact, on the individual and society, of disorders of mobility, locomotor function and infection.

The module aims to provide:

  • review of the normal structure and function of the musculoskeletal system at the molecular, cellular, organ and whole-body level
  • consideration of the effects of disorders of the musculoskeletal system on individuals, society and the health care system
