It’s National Biomechanics Day at ECU!

Today we had the pleasure of hosting advanced placement sciences students from J. H. Rose High School to show them the advanced technology in the movement lab at the Health Sciences Building that our ECU Physical Therapy students, faculty and staff use for experiments and education.

National Biomechanics Day was founded by East Carolina University’s own Dr. Paul DeVita in 2016 to expose high school age scholars to opportunities in biomechanical sciences and has expanded to campuses across the globe.

Thanks to the students and their faculty mentors for spending some time with us.
