Hard hats meet headsets! 👷🥽

Pick up the drywall, position it, and nail it into place "all in VR!" 🔨 Our virtual jobsite takes us to the third level of UTEP’s Texas Western Hall construction site.

Dr. Jang’s Kinesiology lab is teaming up with Dr. Kim’s lab in the Department of Civil Engineering to explore construction workers’ health and potential injury risk factors through VR research.

The construction is virtual, but the workers’ health matters in real life. 💪 Check out this demonstration of a workday with a different kind of headset!

What does it take to measure the Q-angle? Three anatomical landmarks, one goniometer, and a little teamwork! 📐

Students in KIN 2315: Introduction to Athletic Training practiced locating the ASIS, center of the patella, and tibial tuberosity to assess lower-extremity alignment. Hands-on practice is always better with a classmate!
