Adam Goodworth, a professor in the Westmont departments of engineering and kinesiology, and alumnus Maury Hayashida (’95) will examine balance and mobility, and how they’re affected by aging in a 5:30 p.m. talk Thursday, March 21 at the Community Arts Workshop (CAW), 631 Garden St., Santa Barbara.
The Westmont Downtown Lecture, Aging and Mobility: Fundamentals and Frontiers, is free to attend; no tickets or reservations are required. For more information, call 805-565-6051.
“We’ll have a few activities for the audience, plenty of practical tips, key research data, and a discussion about future directions and the latest technology,” said Goodworth, a biomedical engineer who applies technical approaches to human movement science.
Goodworth has conducted research on prosthetics, including efforts to assist the nonprofit LIMB International on projects in Africa. He holds a doctorate from Oregon Health and Sciences University.
Hayashida founded Hayashida and Associates Physical Therapy in 2002, an orthopedic and sports rehabilitation center. He also founded Variant Training Lab and its parent company the ArthroKinetic Institute, designed to identify, prevent, and correct human musculoskeletal system disorders.
