Would Better Hip Care for Young Female Athletes Prevent Pain and Surgery Later in Life?

Most research into athletes’ hips only studies boys and men. With prevention and better training in mind, Boston University’s Cara Lewis is setting out to change that. When Cara Lewis was working on her PhD in movement science, one of her mentors gave her some advice that would transform her scholarship: “Study the hip. It’s where it’s at. It controls everything else.” Lewis had noticed this working as a physical therapist, where it seemed like she was always treating lower limb injuries that had originated in the hip.

Sargent College debuts industry collaboration opportunities

Shannon Nagle and Sami Rickheim are students at Sargent College, studying human physiology under the supervision of BU faculty and two mentors from the New Balance team. Though the details of their work are confidential, they were happy to talk about their experiences at New Balance, and their respective journeys to BU’s human physiology program, which has allowed them to blend industry innovation with academia.
