The Applied Biomechanics Lab had an incredible presence at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Biomechanics in Rochester, MN. We were especially excited to have two finalists for the PhD student award competition and one finalist for the undergraduate student competition. Their hard work and commitment to exceptional science definitely paid off.
Abstracts.
Conway KA, Bissette RG, Franz JR, Older adults overcome their deficits to young adults when propulsive demands of walking are increased to their maximum.
