Last week, Accent Network and Fool House organized a fascinating event – a meeting with the passionate researcher of biomechanics and Russian avant-garde, Dr. Paul DeVita.

Not only enthusiasts of Russian avant-garde and theater attended the lecture, but also leading employees from the laboratories of “Nike” company, who actively apply the laws of biomechanics in their research.

While the event was advertised with a focus on discussing Meyerhold and the application of biomechanics in his work, the topic turned out to be much broader.

We learned a lot of interesting things about biomechanics as a science studying the movements of living beings. Paul DeVita explained how understanding the laws of biomechanics allows us to restore the proper functioning of muscles and influence all the body’s systems and internal organs.
Dr. DeVita and colleagues have produced over 100 peer reviewed publications investigating biomechanical gait adaptations in, among other populations, healthy older adults and adults with knee osteoarthritis and/or obesity.

If you missed this lecture, we highly recommend reading about biomechanics on your own – it’s truly captivating!
