The lab went mini-golfing to celebrate Cuong’s graduation. Cuong has been an undergraduate researcher in the lab for the past year developing a system to evaluate hand function with depth cameras in partnership with Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. He has done a fantastic job developing GUIs for capturing data and deploying the cameras into the clinical setting. Cuong will be joining Phillip’s Ultrasound Division. Best of luck Cuong – you will be missed in the lab!
As for mini-golf, we need some more practice. Ben Shuman and Lauren Sepp (with two holes in one and an assist) were the winners!
Ability & Innovation Lab 2015 Putt-Putt
As a recipient, Dr. Steele will focus on individuals who rely on orthoses for assistance while walking, such as cerebral palsy and stroke survivors, in order to improve human ability. Neuromuscular control and musculoskeletal dynamics will be modeled from motion capture in order to create simulations. Dynamic simulation provides an ideal framework to specify and test different neuromuscular control strategies and expand our ability to design optimized exoskeletons. For more information, click
