Students

DPT students participate in lab projects and lines of research through Independent Study Research Electives or Applied V work.  DPT students may also work as Graduate Assistants on research projects.  Graduate Engineering students work on lab projects through their coursework or experimental design courses.

Undergraduate Health Sciences and Engineering students participate through Honors or Scholars projects mentored by Dr. Reinthal or Dr. Espy, or through CSU supported Summer Undergraduate Research grants awarded to Dr's. Reinthal or Espy.  

Following are recent local, national and international presentations by CSU students of their work on projects through the Motion Analysis Lab:
