Examining Differences in Gait between Marketed Below-Knee Prosthetics and Low-Cost Alternatives
Kelly Bickham and Dustin Bruening, Department of Exercise Science Perhaps one of the greatest challenges that accompany the incredible advances in science and technology is making them accessible where they need to be. According to the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA), there are over 2 million American amputees, with an additional 185,000 lower extremity amputees […]
Analyzing structural differences in quadriceps femoris tendon fibers using MicroScribe technology
Nathaniel Hainsworth and Jon Wisco, Physiology and Developmental Biology Introduction Not all tendons and ligaments are created equally. Many have different structural characteristics based on functionality or need for stability. This turns out to be true even between different portions of the same tendon. This project’s purpose was to analyze and compare structural differences between […]
Race Differences in Perceptions of School Safety: A comparison of Hispanics & Whites
