Starter Courses (Clinical)
For those interested in using the notation in a clinical context,
we offer two distance learning courses: a short taster course, ‘Start
Now’ (1d), and its sequel, ‘Moving On’ (1e).
1d - Benesh Movement Notation for Clinicians, Start
Now
This course
is offered as a ‘taster’ for
clinicians who are interested in recording and analysing human
movement, normal and abnormal, and who wish to learn the basics
of how this may be achieved by means of the notation.
Aim
To demonstrate, at a basic level, how movement can be observed
and recorded efficiently, using a different frame of reference
from those traditionally used in clinical work.
Content
The basic concepts of Benesh Movement Notation:
-
using the body as its own frame of
reference
-
the basic structure, the use of the signs for the limbs
and describing simple changes of position of the segments
of the
body
-
avoiding redundant information to speed the process
of writing and reading
self-assessment questions and answers
-
practice in the description and comparison of recordings
at the level studied
Delivery
By Distance Learning with individual tutorial support provided by
phone, fax, email and post.
Duration
20 hours. Starting at any time of the year
Entry requirements
A ready ability to read non-colloquial English text.
Familiarity with both clinical and biomechanical terminology.
