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 design and conduct research in movement science and mentor students in motion analysis.

Using state of the art technology, researchers focus on investigating rehabilitation approaches on a wide variety of musculoskeletal diseases, evaluating orthopaedic implants and surgical techniques, and evaluating 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.
