Mechanical loading and biomechanical factors play a key role in the onset and/or progression of musculoskeletal conditions. Biomechanical studies, including ones performed in vitro, in animal models and in humans, have provided valuable insights into the aetiopathogenesis of musculoskeletal conditio...
Underrepresented high school students in the STEM fields received interest-tailored lectures on biomechanics during a 5-week summer program. Changes in student engagement and performance between interest-tailored and generic lectures was assessed. Interest-tailored lectures showed an increase in lec...
In January 2005, I came to the University of Waterloo (and Canada) with little appreciation for the breadth and depth of biomechanics research in Canada. Over the last nearly decade and a half, I have seen this excellence persist and expand in dramatic ways. Most markedly, a transition from historic...
Canada has a long standing history of producing an impressive depth and breadth of highly impactful biomechanics research that has influenced and led our field worldwide. Many of these major researchers have relentlessly championed for biomechanics, and demonstrated their commitment to fostering a s...
Biomechanics holds substantial promises for engaging students in important concepts in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at the P12 levels as it can overlay nicely with national standards. This project examined the feasibility of using a questioning assessment, that elicits bi...
Low back pain (LBP) is often researched from isolated points of view, but real advancements in understanding require multidisciplinary perspectives. Biomechanics is an essential element of this, but requires careful integration with other disciplines. Here I highlight the utility of this approach an...
This keynote presentation will kick off this year's Teaching Symposium, a long-standing component of the annual American Society of Biomechanics meeting. This presentation will provide attendees with background on the benefits of engaging learners by integrating active learning techniques (ALTs) int...
This presentation follows up the keynote presentation of the Teaching Symposium, which highlighted the benefits of engaging students in the classroom through the use of active learning techniques. In this presentation, we focus on the “Jigsaw” technique and share one easily adaptable classroom a...
Perception of dance is discernment of reoccurring shapes and patterns. These, in turn are based on numerical relationships that are expressions of space and time. In movement, biomechanical mathematics describe kinematics & kinetics. We ask, is there a biomechanical metric that relates to our aesthe...
Jean Landa Pytel was one of the founders of the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB), one of the first women in the biomechanics PhD program at the Pennsylvania State University and a mentor to many women in ASB. With her passing last year, it is timely to highlight the importance of mentoring (pe...
Attending almost two decades of CSB meetings, beginning with CSB 2000 in Montreal after undergrad and more recently as Co-chair for CSB 2018 in Halifax, there are two primary themes that stand out to me and make our society very special. These themes include the wide breadth of world class biomechan...
