The Human Performance and Biodynamics Laboratory is a collaboration between Wake Forest University School of Medicine’s Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Winston-Salem State University’s Department of Physical Therapy. Physical therapists, physicians, and biomedical engineers work with students in the laboratory to evaluate motion during a variety of different activities.

Researchers focuses on the investigation of musculoskeletal diseases, evaluation of orthopaedic implants and surgical techniques, rehabilitation approaches, and sports capabilities.

Since physical therapists, biomedical engineers, medical students, and orthopaedic surgeons are all involved in the lab, we are positioned to solve challenging problems that are often multidisciplinary in nature.
