RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Biomechanics of Gait and Slipping Barefoot 2011-2012 Researcher

Researched the effects of slipping barefoot while mobile and immobile as part of an independent study done in the ACURA research program in Penn State University under Professor Howard Medoff. Results showed that the type of gait, the ridges of the feet, the pruning of the feet, and different flooring surfaces affect the heel to floor slip angle. All subjects had the proper informed consent during testing as per IRB regulations. This study was awarded the Fall Colloquium Award in Science and Engineering for the year 2012.
