Divya Bhaskaran

Divya Bhaskaran is an Assistant Professor in the Exercise Science program at Hamline University, specializing in lower extremity sports biomechanics and exercise-based rehabilitation. Her research integrates clinical trials with biomechanical analyses to explore rehabilitation techniques and neuromodulation technologies.

• Education: PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Minnesota
• Prior Appointments: Post-Doctoral Associate at Mayo Clinic and University of Minnesota

Her research focuses on:

• Sports biomechanics in athletic populations
• Rehabilitation science through clinical trials
• Neuromodulation device applications
• Lower extremity kinematics during dynamic movements

Publications show expertise in:

• Prosthetic device evaluation (2018)
• Vibro-tactile neuromodulation (2024)
• Ankle/knee kinematic analyses (2012-2016)
• EMG and surface perturbation studies (2015)

Her lab provides students with hands-on experience analyzing athlete biomechanics, bridging theory and real-world application in sports science education.
