DIRECTIONS
We will be in the Bluebonnet room of Medical Office Building 2 at the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital (6300 W Parker Rd). See map on left for entrance and parking information. Parking for the event is free if you park in the visitor lots.
When you enter Medical Building 2, go past the elevators on your right (by the Starbucks), and you will see a hallway. Walk towards Hope Chapel and continue down the hallway. When you get to the fork, go to the right (you will see Medical Offices Two above). Continue walking and turn right at the sign above with four offices listed. Follow the hallway, and it will bring you to a set of elevators on your right. The entrance to the Bluebonnet is across from the elevators by the tree

aBSTRACT SUBMISSION
Abstracts submitted by graduate and undergraduate students representing all areas of biomechanics are invited for podium presentations.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: gait, posture and balance, rehabilitation engineering, ergonomics, musculoskeletal and orthopedic mechanics, prosthetics, orthotics and exoskeletons, cellular, molecular and tissue mechanics, comparative biomechanics, motor control, computational modeling and simulation, sports and teaching.
We invite both PROPOSALS and FULL ABSTRACT to this conference. The proposal option is a great way for undergraduate and graduate students alike to practice their presentation skills and receive valuable feedback on their upcoming thesis project. For those submitting abstracts to national and international meetings, such as the 2017 ASB meeting in Boulder, CO, this event will be a way to get a head start on presenting that work. The Committee will present awards for Outstanding Undergraduate and Graduate Full Abstract Podium Presentations.
