Congrats to our PhD students ⁦@JackieUsc1111⁩ and ⁦@WillaMa_⁩ for the ⁦@AcsmBig⁩ Student Research Awards!

Fantastic year of friendship and research in the Biomechanics Group in Biokinesiology and PT @USCBKNPT @CoorLab_USC @HPL_USC @MbrlUsc

Amazing work, @WillaMa_ ! 👏🏼

Congrats @WillaMa_ So proud to have one of my students receive an award named after Joe! Here’s to the future of biomechanics research. @USCBKNPT @HPL_USC @USCSportsSci

Exciting update from #CSM2024 in Boston! 🌟 @WillaMa_ Willa Ma's groundbreaking research reveals that specific instructions post-ACL reconstruction can mitigate limb but not knee loading deficits. A game-changer in rehab! 👏🔍 #PhysicalTherapy #ACLRecovery

Saving the best for last? Join us at @APTAcsm in the convention center 257AB tomorrow (Feb 17) at 3 PM for @WillaMa_ presentation in the Orthopaedics Platform Session!

@JackieUsc1111 presenting on “Development of Clinical Methods to Identify Knee Loading Deficits during Squats Post-ACLr” alongside a great group of researchers!

Generations of HPL Ph.D. students meeting at @APTAcsm! 🫶🏽 @scsiggy @KateHavens @DrKPratt @WillaMa_ @JackieUsc1111

HPL is at @APTAcsm! Come to 258AB in the convention center on Friday at 8 AM to see @JackieUsc1111 present in “Every Step You Take: Evaluation & Treatment of Walking and Running Asymmetries after ACL Reconstruction”

Olivia Sallis, an EXSS major, studies the risk of developing osteoarthritis after ACL reconstruction and the gait interventions that could prevent further injury. Congrats Olivia Sallis on being featured in endeavors, stories powered by UNC Research! endeavors.unc.edu/runc-olivia-sa…

In the new issue, Elaine Reiche, MS, LAT, ATC, CSCS and colleagues compare lower extremity VMRT (LEVMRT) in individuals with contact or noncontact ACL injuries after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Article: tinyurl.com/mrxaedpy

@qualisysab recently hosted their US-West User Group Meeting at @meyersportLA with students from our program in attendance! There were some great presentations and collaborations on all things motion capture!

We love biomechanics! This weekend, we hosted the Qualisys User Group Meeting this weekend at the Meyer Institute of Sport. Thanks to all the attendees and speakers! @GraceChoi_ @scsiggy @WillaMa_ @qualisysab

It was a great pleasure to present my research findings at #ASB2023 with @USCBKNPT @HPL_USC colleagues. I'm grateful for @scsiggy 's mentor and all the interesting questions from my audience. So proud of @WillaMa_ @KateHavens and @dtow18 representing @MbrlUsc! #FightOn #USC

Individuals in early recovery post ACLr are unable to maintain loading symmetry when a concurrent attention is present and prioritized. @matt_mschan @HPL_USC @USCBKNPT frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Congratulations to PODS I recipient Matthew Heindel, DPT, of the University of Southern California is the recipient of the Viva J. Erickson Award! Heindel’s project is supported by Viva J. Erickson Endowment Fund. foundation4pt.org/foundation-ann…

HPL @JackieUsc1111 @WillaMa_ had a great trip to Denver for @ACSMNews annual conference! Nice to be back face to face with everyone.

#ACSM23 Big thanks to @ACSMNews @AcsmBig @scsiggy @qualisysab and all my colleagues! Working/studying in @HPL_USC and @MbrlUsc at @USCBKNPT is one of my best decisions ever!

My abstract, "Relationship Between Ground Reaction Force And Knee Axis of Rotation Reflects Knee Loading Deficits Post-ACLr" has been accepted to #ACSM23 @ACSMNews @AcsmBig as a thematic poster!🥰 Join me on Thursday, Jun 1, 2023, 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM! @HPL_USC @USCBKNPT

This little engineer’s first @APTACSM 🤓 Had a great time learning about all things physical therapy and ACLR rehab! @HPL_USC @USCBKNPT
