ASB 2024 Recap

Steele Lab members, Charlotte Caskey, Victoria (Tori) Landrum, and Megan Ebers, attended the American Society of Biomechanics Annual Meeting (ASB) in Madison, WI from August 5-8, 2024.

Charlotte gave a poster presentation on the “Effect of spinal stimulation and interval treadmill training on gait mechanics in children with cerebral palsy”

Tori also gave a poster presentation on the “Impact of a Resistive Exoskeleton on Fatigue in Children with Cerebral Palsy”

Megan co-hosted a Symposia Session titled, “Can machine learning reveal the next generation of neural and biomechanical processes governing human movement?” with Steele Lab Alumni, Michael Rosenberg. In Megan’s talk, “A machine learning approach to quantify individual gait responses to ankle exoskeletons,” she discussed how neural network-based discrepancy modeling can be used to isolate the dynamics governing changes in gait with ankle exoskeletons.

Introducing Dr. Charlotte DeVol Caskey!

Congratulations to Dr. Charlotte DeVol Caskey on earning her Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering! Dr. Caskey’s PhD thesis dissertation was titled Effects of Spinal Stimulation on Neuromechanics of Gait for Children with Cerebral Palsy. Congratulations and best of luck as you move forward as a Postdoc in the Human Neuromechanics Laboratory at the University of Florida in Gainesville!
