Are you attending #AABA2024? Are you interested in reconstructing locomotor behaviors in the fossil record? Come check out my talk (w/ Jamie B. Hall Jacob Thomas, PhD Trent Guess, PhD and Carol Ward) in the Paleoanthropology: Morphological Signatures of Locomotion session Friday morning!

This Thursday at ITAP in Columbia, come have a beer and listen to me talk about my dissertation research on a new diagnostic tool for concussion. It will be the most fun and least sober research talk I give all year! Hope to see you there!

Limits of stability (LoS) has been added to our portable motor function assessment platform. We will be comparing to gold standard LoS measurements soon.

Ended a great semester at Randy's Frozen Custard. Randy's with an "R".

Congratulations! Jacob Thomas Jacob Thomas, PhD successfully defended his dissertation "A Low-cost and Movement-based Tool for Concussion Diagnosis" Great work!

The MAC will be sharing research in low-cost portable motor function assessment for detecting mild cognitive impairment, cerebral palsy, and dual task differences in jump mechanics at #GCMAS2024.

Assessing motor functioning during a cognitive task may be a way to capture cognitive decline in older adults. It can be done using cheap and portable (but highly accurate) technology: tandfonline.com/eprint/E62PQKF… Jamie B. Hall Jacob Thomas, PhD Trent Guess, PhD

Revisiting sources of variability in gait analysis Nice work by Emily Leary Dr. Emily Leary (@dreleary.bsky.social) and the MAC on identifying and quantifying sources of variability in gait data. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great work from our team to automatically incorporate unanticipated reaction, response inhibition, and high level visual-cognitive dual tasking to our MPASS multimodal motor function assessment platform.

Hot off the press!! ➡️ Post-Acute Concussion-Related Differences in Neuromotor Control Measured Using a Low-Cost Movement Assessment System: A Feasibility Study | Published in International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy. Great work Jacob! ijspt.scholasticahq.com/article/129888…
