Granata Lab

We are recruiting research participants for a paid 90-minute research study to better understand limb symmetry in healthy, uninjured athletes. Please contact us for more information or scan the QR code! #engineering #biomechanics

What is YOUR preferred way to carry a car seat? The Granata Lab wants to know! Stop by booth 900 at #BMES2024 THIS Thursday-Saturday to show us how YOU carry a car seat! Previous experience holding car seats NOT required! #granatalab

The @GranataLab at VT is recruiting 18- to 30-year-old participants for a #biomechanics research study (IRB#24-159). If interested in participating, please use the QR code or contact Alex Gioia via email at agioia@vt.edu. @BEAMvt @VTEngineering

Congrats to @theresa_libera for her successful MS defense on her research exploring balance and loading in postpartum women! So proud of what she has accomplished @BEAMvt @VTEngineering

Having fun finding props for our BMES Collection Study assessing loading differences due to holding a baby carrier. Check us out at this years’ conference!

The biomechanics camps have been incredible! The @GranataLab folks have been killing it and we have been sold out! That said, I have decided to open up one more spot on both June 24th and June 25th. Go to petedamoursoftballcamps.com for information or to register.

The Softball Pitching Biomechanics Camp returns! With @GranataLab we'll run a biomechanical analysis, movement screen, @ProteusMotion and @RapsodoSoftball analysis. THEN use all that information to tailor an instructional camp. Must be 15+. 5 Ps/camp only petedamoursoftballcamps.com

National Biomechanics Day is approaching. Please join the largest, worldwide #Biomechanics STEM and STEAM program. Virginia Tech has...in a BIG way! Register here: thebiomechanicsinitiative.org @rmqueen_VT @GranataLab @vwang_vt @snake_flyer @AmSocBiomech

The Granata Gobblers are ready for the #ORSTurkeyTrot2023 to raise awareness & funding for #research this week. @GranataLab goal is 50+ miles (walk, run, or roll) as a team! Who is with us! How many miles can @ORSsociety move? @mchvdm @KelseyHCollins @OrthoBME @BLT_BME @stmcdr

Happy Halloween from the Granata Lab and our good friend Jack, first place winners of our department door decorating contest! 💀🎃👻 @rmqueen_VT @BEAMvt @VTEngineering

@GranataLab at VT is recruiting for a single visit (20-min) research study at BMES Annual Mtg. The study looks at factors influencing force and motion in healthy adults--sit-to-stand, step up/step down, & squat #BMES2023 #biomechanics

Im looking for a new doctoral student to mentor in our Human Movement Science Curriculum @UNC_HMSC and join our @MOTION_UNC team! Looking for someone interested in biomechanics, knee injury and/ or osteoarthritis. Please email me to discuss if interested. brian@unc.edu

It was great to work with @jjpower19 and the @HokiesSoftball pitchers looking at the possibility of using markerless motion capture to analyze pitching mechanics @beamVT @theiamarkerless @rmqueen_VT @theresa_libera @Robyn_HansenVT #biomechanics

I am pumped to announce that I’m officially a doctoral candidate in Biomechanics with @msu_AthleteEng! I’m beyond excited to get to work with @rmqueen_VT and the @GranataLab here at VT. Soon: biomechanics camp 2.0 featuring @theiamarkerless @ProteusMotion @RapsodoSoftball @tindeq

Congratulations to our very own Dr. Robin Queen @rmqueen_VT for receiving the Jean Landa Pytel Award for Diversity Mentorship in Biomechanics at #ASB2023 after her talk on What to do when one size doesn't fit all @AmSocBiomech @BEAMvt

Proud to have Dr. Sara Arena and @theresa_libera representing the lab at the @gcmas annual conference at @HighPointU! #biomechanics

Great work by @GranataLab member @theresa_libera presenting at the @gcmas annual meeting!

Incredibly grateful to have presented my research on Kinematics Knee Asymmetry in TKA Patients and Controls at the annual @gcmas conference on @HighPointU campus. @GranataLab #biomechanics

Excited & proud to share the great work by @GranataLab alum @brisbane_julia, recently published in the @JBiomech exploring the impact of race, gait speed and arch height on plantar loading. @BEAMvt @VTEngineering @vtenge @novel_USA #biomechanics authors.elsevier.com/c/1h90d4-6-e5P2

Incomparable ‘23 @GranataLab grads! 5 MS, 1 PhD & 2 proud/tired #mentors. Congrats @MichaelTeaterVT @tyana_scott @Robyn_HansenVT @bvasquezzz Jenna & Jorjie. Thanks for the amazing opportunity to work with each of you & to play a small role in your journey! @BEAMvt @VTEngineering
