Can We Heal Injured Veterans by Studying Basketball?
UConn’s basketball teams aren’t the only ones leaving a lasting impact at Gampel Pavilion. Deep in the belly of the iconic domed building where championship banners line the rafters, an interdisciplinary team of researchers from the Department of Kinesiology and the Institute for Sports Medicine employs high-tech sensors to learn more about how people move with the goal of helping athletes, active-duty service members, veterans — and eventually, all of us — heal and avoid injury.
