At the start of the month, we had the pleasure of hosting paramedic students on campus! Participants had the opportunity to practice the OPPAT while OBEL researchers collected motion and fitness data. This data will inform future ergonomics research at #UWaterlooKHS.

New public dataset alert! - Featuring .c3d and .mat files of 3D full-body kinematic data of 21 movements (#movementscreen & #ROM) from 183 athletes. The dataset behind Gwyneth Ross's PhD thesis is now accessible here: nature.com/articles/s4159…. Xiong Zhao Brittany Dowling

Having a blast chatting occupational biomechanics at OBC 2023! Congrats to all the great student posters and presentations!

For our first spring #KHSFeatureFriday, meet Biomechanics PhD candidate Kate Posluszny. 🎉 Kate researches the risk of workplace injuries in first responders and frontline workers in-field. Currently, she is testing data from personal support workers using wearable technology.

Congratulations Daniel Armstrong, Sanjay Veerasammy, Hailey, Isaac, and Julia on your graduation! Way to go! UWaterloo Kinesiology and Health Sciences
