On November 23, we will be holding a hybrid ask-me-anything session for students interested in research-based graduate programs. Students can attend in-person or virtually to chat with #UWaterlooKHS supervisors and current students. Learn more here: uwaterloo.ca/health/events/…

Call for CSB-SCB Awards and Honours Applications open! Will be presented at NACOB 2022, the joint CSB-SCB/ASB meeting. NACOB @amsocbiomech #Awards #Honours #biomechanics #NACOB2022

Did you know we use force plates in multiple labs at #UWaterlooCCCARE? Force plates are used to measure ground reaction forces and can be paired with biophysical measurements, motion capture, virtual reality and perturbations in clinical research! #KinCCCAREs

Congrats to our grad team for leading a J Applied Biomech Human Kinetics paper which used ultrasound to characterize soft tissue thickness overlying the greater trochanter, and modeled their influence on fall-related impact loads and hip fracture risk. doi.org/10.1123/jab.20….

Impact simulations of falls from standing height investigated impact dynamics and fx risk. Lateral and posterior-lateral impacts were most dangerous, and hip protectors most effective for lateral and oblique impacts.
