For our first spring #KHSFeatureFriday, meet Biomechanics PhD candidate Kate Posluszny. 🎉

Kate researches the risk of workplace injuries in first responders and frontline workers in-field. Currently, she is testing data from personal support workers using wearable technology.

At the start of the month, we had the pleasure of hosting paramedic students on campus!

Participants had the opportunity to practice the OPPAT while @BiomechErgoLab researchers collected motion and fitness data. This data will inform future ergonomics research at #UWaterlooKHS.
