The Biodynamics and Human Performance Center will host the second anual Interactive Showcase in April of 2013 from 5:30 to 8:00PM that is free and open to the public. The event will involve light hors d’oeuvres, refreshments and opportunities to interact with the faculty and students of the Biodynamics and Human Performance Center. Showcase activities will include golf swing analyses, balance testing, strength testing, eye-hand coordination testing, movement analyses and demonstrations of trendy exercise and rehabilitation techniques and movement assessments. The event is being presented by Spine and Sport with Dr. Spencer Wheeler and Frank "The Big Guy" Sulkowski as Honorary Co-Chairs. To participate, please contact Beth Ann Walker at bethann@spinesport.org.

 Four papers from the Biodynamics and Human Performance Center were accepted at APTA-CSM, a national Physical Therapy Conference in San Deigo, CA held on January 21-24, 2013. Two of the papers, King, E, et. al and Arnsdorff, K, et. al, were nominated as one of the best orthopedic section posterboards.
