Zahra was selected from a highly competitive application pool to receive the Mary Gates Research Scholarship. The scholarship allows students to focus more attention and time on their research projects while being supported financially for two quarters. Zahra will continue working on a mixed-methods study investigating the status of prescription, initial use, and impacts of mobility aids for children under 5 with cerebral palsy. Congratulations!

How can we decipher human movement?
Our skeletal muscles have amazing structure. They provide elegant and efficient actuation to move and explore our worlds. But how do we understand how muscles produce movement?
Dr. Steele presents at the inaugural research symposium for the University of Washington Center for Translational Muscle Research. Her presentation shares examples for how we can use musculoskeletal simulation as a tool to connect muscle biology, dynamics, and mobility.
