As a competitive swimmer, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee undergraduate student Erika Pliner knew that even a small changes in her movements could make a big difference in race results. Her interest in improving her efficiency in the pool, inspired her to dive into a research project in the Gait Analysis and Biodynamics Laboratory. See how her research could lead to changes in ladder safety, which may reduce the pain and costs associated with a ladder falls.
