The development and validation of more sophisticated fMRI paradigms for quadriceps motor control are currently underway! Dustin Grooms @JanetSimon51 Adam Haggerty @criss_cody @WohlTimothy

Elevated kinesiophobia is positively correlated with brain activity: #1 bilateral corticospinal track & #2 ipsilateral thalamus during hip-knee movement in ACLR patients. #OUVirtualExpo @bobcatsdiscover NMBHAL_Ohio OHIO Athletic Training Education OhioU Research Dustin Grooms @JanetSimon51 @criss_cody

Diffusion Tensor imaging (DTI) is a modern neuroimaging technique that measures white matter tract integrity. DTI color schemes represent tract directionality and orientation. The video is DTI for a single subject after ACLR. Dustin Grooms @criss_cody OHIO Translational Biomedical Sciences Program OhioU Research

@criss_cody gave a fantastic presentation today for his milestone 2 OHIO Translational Biomedical Sciences Program. Well done on presenting your findings on the neural activity between those with ACLR and healthy controls. Dustin Grooms Brian Clark

Last day at Lancaster high school. I was grateful to spend two years with great people. Thanks to all the coaches, athletes, and parents who respected, supported, and liked me as an athletic trainer and a friend. I love you all and will miss you. Go, Gales!🌪

Neural activity for hip-knee control in those with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A task-based functional connectivity analysis. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3238014…

Check this one out! @criss_cody did a phenomenal job on this piece. 🧠NMBHAL_Ohio @JimmyOnateFPPE Dustin Grooms

Another weekly PhD student journal club discussing gait! Good article to get the ideas flowing on how we can better improve gait earlier in ACL rehabilitation. Elanna Arhos Howon Kim Cody Criss, DO, PhD Harjiv Singh, PhD

Working on a new neurocognitive hop test today with the @FitLightAmerica for Scott Monfort's R03 investigating the spectrum of cognitive-motor impairments following ACL reconstruction Dustin Grooms @JanetSimon51 @criss_cody Meredith Chaput, PhD, DPT, SCS Howon Kim.

New Ph.D. student position Ohio University in OU Physical Therapy, OHIO Athletic Training Education & NMBHAL_Ohio - Would greatly appreciate retweets of this opportunity. If anyone is interested please feel free to contact me. Thank you!

We had an amazing talk in our Topics in Sports Medicine class this morning by Howon Kim and Meredith Chaput, PhD, DPT, SCS. These two are definitely going places, excited to see what continues to come out from their work in the NMBHAL_Ohio!

How many sport science labs house their own research only MRI 🙋‍♂️Here we utilize integrated fMRI and 3D motion capture technologies to isolate neural mechanisms of movement-related pain and injury. #GetSPARCd Jed Diekfuss, PhD @TaylorMatthewRy Dr. Lexy Slutsky-Ganesh, PhD Dustin Grooms Howon Kim

Honored to receive the NATA Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award. Thank you to my many colleagues & mentors that have inspired my passion and call to service. NATA @NATAevents GATA, Inc SEATA District IX Emory Sports Performance And Research Center

If you are still at #NATA2022 go check out Dustin Grooms speaking on incorporating VR in rehabilitation and return to sport testing in Terrace BR IV. OU Physical Therapy OHIO Athletic Training Education Ohio University OMNI John McCarthy

Closing out #NATA2022 is Amber Schnittjer, MS, AT and Howon Kim. Amber presented on restoring single-leg hop improves patient outcomes after a LAS. HoWon presented on action observation brain activity is related to kinesiophobia following ACLR. @JanetSimon51 Dustin Grooms

We had a great time at #NATA2022. Everyone had great presentations and opportunities to catch up with friends and colleagues and make some new ones. We even got to experience the local sweet treat water ice🙂 @JanetSimon51 Dustin Grooms Howon Kim Amber Schnittjer, MS, AT @krisensign

Pleased to share the release of our new paper evaluating longitudinal changes in high school football players' cortical thickness as a function of head impact exposure and type of helmet worn during play!! Lead by the twiterless Jon Dudley 🧠⛑️🏈🦾 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35867315/

Infographics/poster presentations coming up soon! Preliminary data for a current project aiming to understand how experimental deafferentation impacts brain activation during knee movement. Stop by poster #78 to chat! IFSPT #WCSPT2022 NMBHAL_Ohio Dustin Grooms

Favorite info graphic IFSPT #WCSPT2022 #78 always good to see a brain image at a sports physio mtg!
