Directions to the MSL:

The Biodynamics Lab is run by Robert Shapiro, PhD.  This lab provides three-dimensional motion analysis of human movement allowing for the assessment of kinematic (motion), kinetic (force), and electromyographic information.  This lab provides our graduates with valuable experience in evaluating human movement and gives students the opportunity to investigate specific movement disorders associated with athletic injuries.
