The Biomechanics of Occupations and Sports Lab Presents at International Conferences!
The Biomechanics of Occupations and Sports Lab members, supervised by Dr. Julie Côté, KPE, recently presented their Ph.D. research at international conferences! Each member who attended was awarded a Canadian Musculoskeletal Rehab Research Network 2022 Trainee Travel Award. Matthew Slopecki was also awarded a Canadian Society of Biomechanics Travel Award.
Erika Renda, Ph.D. Candidate
Presented her poster titled “The Effects of Handedness on Muscle Activation During a Repetitive Overhead Fatiguing Task” at the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology Conference in Quebec City from June 22 - 25, 2022.
Matthew Slopecki, Ph.D. Candidate
Presented his poster titled “Old Males Show Reduced Motor Flexibility During a Seated, Fatiguing, Repetitive Reaching Task” at the North American Congress on Biomechanics in Ottawa from August 21 – 25, 2022.
Yiyang Chen, Ph.D. Candidate
Presented her poster titled “Sex-Specific Fatigue Detection during a Repetitive Pointing Task using Continuous Wavelet Transforms” at the North American Congress on Biomechanics in Ottawa from August 21 – 25, 2022. Yiyang also presented an oral presentation titled “Sex-Specific Effects of Fatigue on Muscle Synergies in a Repetitive Pointing Task” at the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology Conference in Quebec City from June 22 -25, 2022.
Chen Yang, Ph.D. Graduate and Alumnus of BOS lab
Presented his Ph.D. work in poster format titled “Sex-specific Fatigue Effects on Principal Components and Complete Kinematic Time Series in a Repetitive Pointing Task” at the North American Congress on Biomechanics in Ottawa from August 21 – 25, 2022.
Dr. Julie Côté was also invited to speak at the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology Conference in Quebec City from June 22 -25, 2022. She presented her work titled “Impacts of Fatigue, Sex and Age on Control of Upper Limb Repetitive tasks: the Useful and the Harmful”.
