DIESEL has recently had some great opportunities to meet local clinicians and health practitioners as well as out of province researchers in January and February!
Clark Dickerson, PhD was invited to Grand River Hospital's Freeport Campus for "Pizza with the Profs" on January 23rd to discuss unique fundamental characteristics of shoulder mechanics, and how biomechanical understanding of the shoulder can inform responses to many important societal and clinical challenges. An important focus for this group of attendees was DIESEL's research on arm function in breast cancer survivors and rotator cuff pathologies.
Today (February 11th), DIESEL research will be presented in a seminar at the University of Manitoba, organized by the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute. Clark will discuss how developing shoulder models and representations of this body region can inform responses to a wide range of current and emergent design, clinical, ergonomic, and biological challenges and questions.
