Her research interests include: 1) quantifying the mechanical properties of the upper extremity musculoskeletal system, 2) studying the role of muscle stiffness regulation in the motor coordination of the upper extremity for patients with various dysfunctions following injury, and 3) implementing Team-Based Learning in a physical therapy curriculum, along with evaluating the outcomes both in terms of success in the DPT program, in passing the PT licensure exams, and in becoming extraordinary physical therapy professionals. Beven, and her husband Donald, have three wonderfully active boys, Aiden, Kaelen and Kyle. Her number one hobby is playing competitive tennis.
