Introducing Dr. Alyssa Spomer!!

Nicole Exams, Graduation, HuskyADAPT, MotorControl, News, Projects November 30, 2022December 6, 2022

Alyssa is a white woman with red hair and is wearing a black dress and white sweater. She is smiling and standing next to a large projected screen with her dissertation title.

Congratulations to Dr. Alyssa Spomer on earning her Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering! Dr. Spomer’s PhD thesis dissertation was titled Evaluating multimodal biofeedback to target and improve motor control in cerebral palsy. Congratulations and best of luck as you move forward as a Clinical Scientist at Gillette Children’s. Best of luck in Minnesota!

Congratulations Mia! Mia Hoffman passes her Ph.D. Qualifying Exam

The Ability & Innovation Lab’s own Alyssa Spomer was featured in an article, Supporting mobility in cerebral palsy, via the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This article highlighted her work on how a robotic exoskeleton device paired with real-time feedback can enhance rehabilitation therapy for children with cerebral palsy. Way to go Alyssa!A tall man wearing an exoskeleton is walking on a treadmill in the foreground of a large white room. Alyssa is stanidng next to him looking at an ipad.
