The symposium presentations will be followed by lunch and awards, and will conclude with a keynote address by Dr. Tim Butterfield, ATC. Dr. Butterfield is an Assistant Professor at The University of Kentucky whose research area is muscle mechanics (specifically strain-induced muscle injury and the plasticity of skeletal muscle). Dr. Butterfield’s keynote address is titled: “From hare to allometry: can massage accelerate recovery of function in strain-damaged muscle?”

A full list of oral and poster presentation topics, along with abstracts for each presentation, may be found in the “News and Happenings” section of the College of Graduate Studies website.
