Workshops were created and presented by Penn State Berks faculty and research students as well as clinicians from Penn State Health St. Joseph and Tower Health. Students had the chance to experience the cadaver lab, gait lab and exercise physiology lab among other activities. This year’s attendees received an event t-shirt.

National Biomechanics Day is an annual — now in its fourth year — worldwide event, sponsored by the American Society of Biomechanics (ASB). The goal is to promote the study and awareness of Biomechanics to future college students and researchers.
