Congrats to Uyen! Title: A Dynamic Approach to Measuring Achilles Tendon Moment Arm Abstract:The Achilles tendon (AT) is highly susceptible to re-injury during rehabilitation, yet current approaches often overlook individual variations in in vivo tendon mechanics and lack methods to detect… Read more: Uyen completed her MS practicum! - Brady successfully defended his MS thesis!
Congrats to Brady! Abstract:This thesis examines the accessibility of automatic door systems and related campus infrastructure for mobility-impaired students at George Mason University (GMU), highlighting how design flaws affect navigation ease. Despite ADA compliance, mobility-impaired students at GMU continue to… Read more: Brady successfully defended his MS thesis! - Morgan successfully defended her MS Thesis!
Congratulations to Morgan! Abstract:Reduction of injury risk is of critical concern for collegiate athletes, as musculoskeletal injuries can significantly impact short-term performance and long-term career sustainability. High-impact movements, such as jumping and landing, are integral to many sports but introduce… Read more: Morgan successfully defended her MS Thesis! - Morgan Lamarre proposed her MS thesis: Wearable technology for monitoring jump training intensity: a study of volleyball and dance movement profiles
Injury prevention is of critical concern for collegiate athletes, as musculoskeletal injuries can significantly impact short-term performance and long-term career sustainability. Athletes will greatly benefit from knowing if they are at an increased risk of injury during their required high-impact… Read more: Morgan Lamarre proposed her MS thesis: Wearable technology for monitoring jump training intensity: a study of volleyball and dance movement profiles - Brady Stinson-Smith proposed his MS thesis: Impact of assistive technologies on navigation for mobility-impaired students
For students with mobility impairments, navigating physical and social spaces on campus is often challenging, usually impacting not only accessibility but also inclusion within higher education. Although the ADA has guidelines in place, many of those who are mobility-impaired struggle… Read more: Brady Stinson-Smith proposed his MS thesis: Impact of assistive technologies on navigation for mobility-impaired students
