9th Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics at ACSM 2019
We hosted our 9th Symposium on Motor Control in Biomechanics on May 28th, 2019 in conjunction with the 66th Annual Meeting of the American College of Sport Medicine (ACSM).
The topic of the symposium was “The Integration of Motor Control into the Rehabilitation and Prevention of Sports Injuries”, and it featured internationally distinguished researchers in the field of Motor Control and Biomechanics, including:
- Dr. Robin Queen (Virginia Tech, USA) “Using biofeedback to reduce second ACL injury risk”
- Dr. Scott Landry (Acadia University, Canada) “Biomechanical and neuromuscular analyses of young athletes”
- Dr. Cara Lewis (Boston University, USA) “Hip morphology and movement patterns: rethinking hip pain in athletes”
- Dr. Daniel Cobian (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA) “Abnormal quadriceps activation patterns and lower extremity biomechanics in elite collegiate athletes post-ACL reconstruction”
- Dr. Deanna Gates (University of Michigan, USA) “The influence of muscle fatigue and pain on multi-joint movements”
- Mrs. Alessandra Matias (University of Sao Paulo, Brazil) “Not all forefoot striking is equal”.
Support: The symposium was kindly supported by the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) and by the De Luca Foundation.
Winner of the 2nd ISB-Sponsored Motor Control Group Student Award
|
Congratulations to Mrs. Alessandra Matias, honors doctorate at the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil) and research internship fellow at Spaulding National Running Center (Harvard University, USA), who was awarded the 2019 Motor Control Group Student Award for her abstract submission titled: “Not all forefoot striking is equal”. This is the second edition of the Motor Control Group Student Award sponsored by ISB. The 500 USD award aims at encouraging the participation of students and young investigators in Motor Control research. Thanks to the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) for their support. |
Stay tuned for our 2020 events!
Sincerely,
ISB Working Group in Motor Control
