Description

Are you ready to explore the details of bones and joints and how they uniquely support our musculoskeletal system structurally and kinetically? Bring your engineering skills and creativity as we develop models of bones and joints and then expose them to pathology. We’ll discover treatment options for the diseases that impact these foundational structures so that movement, function, and recovery can be achieved.
