| The goals of the Ithaca College
Movement Analysis
Laboratory on the Rochester campus include research, teaching and clinical evaluation. The
collaborative research agenda provides Ithaca students and faculty the opportunity to work
jointly on research projects that are presented at national and international meetings and
in journal publications. For a description of current projects see: http://www.ithaca.edu/faculty/jhouck/projects.html
