Belmont School of Physical Therapy recently held its annual research symposium and poster session.  Ten groups presented the results of their research projects which they began in the first year of the program.  The projects presented were very diverse from pediatrics through geriatrics, from normal healthy subject to individuals with dementia and pathology such as Charcot Marie Tooth to athletes such as the swimmers, football players, golfers and professional dancers.  Research projects examined screening, diagnostics, and intervention. Data were presented on over 930 subjects.  Below are the presentations:  Congratulations to the third year Physical Therapy students on this significant accomplishment!
