Sponsored by @OptiTrack, Alex Nilius received the student travel award and Jack Williams received the student research award.

A UNC EXSS research team is investigating how VR may help athletes recover from ACL injuries. In sport scientist Shelby Baez’s study, they use virtual reality headsets to guide meditation and reduce fear. unc.edu/posts/2024/06/… Shelby Baez 📝 UNC Research

Congratulations Caitie Brinkman, MS, ATC and Elaine Reiche (she/her)! :) You both are 🪨⭐️s!!!!

Had a successful dissertation proposal today! Thanks to my committee and lab mates for the support getting this thing off the ground 😊

Our recent study validates a smartphone-based motion capture system, OpenCap, for lower extremity kinematics during RTS tasks in an injured population. OpenCap's user-friendly interface and free software offer accessibility beyond traditional labs. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jIKa4-6-hvhT

Kudos to Maj Jeffrey A. Turner who presented at ACSM 2024.👏 His poster, "Development of OpenLESS as the Automated Landing Error Scoring System," was the culmination of a Data Science Fellowship through the University of Southern California.🧐 Maj Turner is an AFIT PhD student.
