Participating as an undergraduate research assistant in conducting load testing for healthy achilles tendons. Using motion capture and force plates we analyze and convert the data from the test runs to then create a rendering with muscles to see which muscles are being worked and where the most support is needed. In doing these tests, we create optimal and user friendly braces specialized for post stroke patients.
