Alumni
Success
Our neuromechanics alumni apply advanced knowledge of human movement to careers in biomechanics, sport science, rehabilitation and performance analysis. Graduates work with various populations in clinical, occupational, and athletic settings and contribute to injury prevention and performance enhancement initiatives. Many alumni have pursued graduate or professional study in physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, prosthetics and orthotics, biomechanics, ergonomics and related movement sciences and now serve in applied (clinical and industry) and research-based roles.
