I can offer no help with your dissertation I am afraid, but wanted to bump for you in the hope you can get some advice.

Also intrigued as to what that last line means? with the 'madgeymoo is online now etc'

I've done 2 dissertations so it entirely depends on if you want to use quantative or qualitative data and you need to narrow down on the broad spectrum of rehab and therapy! My first project title was 'The Immediate Effect of Shoeing on Stride Length' which got put forward for the National Awards and that was like 4 a4 pages worth of data collection. Long and hard work collecting all that! My 2nd I ventured into pastures very much unknown for me with 'The Negative and Positive Aspects of All Weather Racing on the Racing Industry'... I'm very much anti racing and this project was very much about trying to disect the numerous opinions from every angle and I sent out hundreds of surveys.

Choose a specific area of biomechanics, otherwise your entering a very large area! You including a rider? which gait to be analysed? in a straight line or on a circle? are you looking at the shift of weight? etc etc etc...I remember doing each of my dissertations...I don't think I slept for months
