Human Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences

Northeastern University’s Master of Science in Human Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences prepares students for practice with an intensive study of the revolutionary breakthroughs that allow our bodies to work better. The one-year program is focused on innovative rehabilitation solutions through research and education covering:

• Biomechanics
• Control of movement
• Health and well-being through movement and design
• Human-cybernetic system interactions
• Neurorehabilitation of movement and function
• Motor learning
• Musculoskeletal disorders

You’ll engage in a curriculum developed by industry professionals that brings you an understanding of state-of-the-art technology and offers you a robust choice of electives to personalize your knowledge and expertise. Throughout the program, you’ll have a front-row seat to cutting-edge research in neuroscience, kinesiology, arthritis, physical activity, and occupational biomechanics.

You can select an exercise science concentration focused on physical activity, public health, and clinical exercise physiology—bringing you added expertise in exercise science and public health, specifically health promotion and chronic disease prevention. The concentration also focuses on acute and chronic responses to endurance and strength exercise in major body systems, including the cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal systems.
