Thanks Joe and Scott from Powell O&P for a great lab @vcu physical therapy demonstrating how fit and alignment changes create gait deviations. #vcupt

Been a clinician, researcher and academic focused on those with limb loss for 20+ years. I inherited the O/P course from a retiring faculty this spring. It's a lot of work the first time through, but so much easier when it's a topic you care so much about. #academia #amputees

[Ben Darter, PT, PhD @BenDarter]

Honored to have such a great research team to work with on the project.

[VCU News Center @VCUnews]

A new study at VCU is focused on ways to improve the understanding of a prosthesis user’s mobility. @VCUHealth @VCUresearch https://t.co/A1Lyr94WQg
