Cara L. Lewis Honored with 2017 Biomechanics Early Career Investigator Award from APTA
Associate Professor Cara L. Lewis, PT, PhD, in the Department of Physical Therapy & Athletic Training, was honored with the Biomechanics Special Interest Group (SIG) Early Career Investigator Award from the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA). She was presented with the award at the Biomechanics SIG meeting on Thursday, February 16, 2017 in San Antonio, as part of the APTA Combined Sections Meeting.
The Biomechanics SIG aims to promote and develop biomechanical research methods in order to advance physical therapy practices, expand the application of biomechanical research, represent the interests of SIG members, and serve as a network for researchers and clinicians.
Lewis’s scholarly research interests include studying musculoskeletal causes of hip pain and biomechanical analysis of human movement. She is the Director of the Sargent Human Adaptation Laboratory, which is dedicated to furthering the understanding of motor adaptation and developing interventions to reduce hip pain.
