Biomedical Engineering, Prehealth, Undergraduate at Georgia Institute of Technology
RESEARCH INTEREST
Michael worked on researching leg muscle activation changes as the stiffness of an ankle foot orthosis increased. Maximum amplitude in EMG curves, area under the curve, and muscle synergies were analyzed. The data Michael collected will help develop a qualitative method to prescribing ankle foot orthoses to patients.
HOBBIES
Marksmanship, Photography, Eating, and Working Out.
Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate, San Diego State University
RESEARCH INTEREST
Brett is interested in prosthesis design and control system applications. He worked on ankle foot orthoses (AFO) design optimization with regard to muscle force cost of walking.
Undergraduate, Computer Science, Tufts University Engineering School
RESEARCH INTEREST
Morgan is interested in maximizing the benefits of therapy and exercise techniques, especially through the use of technology. Morgan worked on understanding how to get the most out of gesture control technology in order to improve patient’s recovery.
CJ is interested in designing inexpensive, body powered orthoses for upper limb impairment by utilizing 3D printing. The goal is to add to the open source prosthetic designs on the “Enabling the Future” website so that orthoses can be more widely available for children and adults with impairments.
HOBBIES
Running Track and Field, Volleyball, Dancing, and Surfing
