This past week, a few members of DIESEL travelled to Winterthur, Switzerland, for the 11th Conference of the International Shoulder Group!
The DIESEL team is heading to Hamilton, Ontario this week for the 2016 Canadian Society for Biomechanics (CSB) Conference! This bi-annual conference brings biomechanists and ergonomists from across Canada together to present research on a wide variety of topics that focus on engineering, rehabilitation science, and kinesiology.
Jackie successfully proposed her Masters (MSc) thesis on Wednesday, June 15th. Her topic is focusing on breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment but are experiencing shoulder pain and dysfunction. Over the next year, Jackie hopes to quantify some of that dysfunction with her research and inform future rehabilitation strategies for this population.
