  CGMA Engineering Intern

  Learned about the technical aspects of gait and movement analysis through use of technology and VICON software. Capstone project involved investigation and development of a method to convert data collected through VICON (motion capture software) to a usable format in OpenSIM, a musculoskeletal modeling software. Once achieved, health care professionals could collect data about muscle-tendon length during gait. This would be used as a diagnostic tool for patients with cerebral palsy or other musculoskeletal disorders. Show less
