faculty member at the University of Washington (1973–1984), my research continued in the area of sport biomechanics. A major project focused upon the running patterns of 32 individuals with lower-extremity amputations. 2 It was carried out in cooperation with Dr. Ernie Burgess of the Prosthetics Research

and a world-recognized scientist in sport biomechanics and neural control, is such an example. His successful career was defined by addressing questions regarding muscle function, in vivo, at a very basic science level and building collaborative interdisciplinary teams of researchers with the unique

biomechanics. Dick Nelson and Dewey Morehouse had created a sport biomechanics program at Penn State that was fast becoming one of the premier programs in the world. Soon after my arrival in State College, Dr. Peter Cavanagh arrived joining the faculty. Figure 1 —The Water Tower, which was the longtime home of

scientists were not allowed to personally join international societies; only collective memberships by national societies were allowed. But at this time, the All-Union Society of Biomechanics, or Sport Biomechanics, did not exist, so for the Soviet biomechanics to join the ISB, some issues had to be resolved
