DIESEL Summer Research Collections

Things are busy in the lab this summer! DIESEL trainee research collections are in full swing, and we are looking for participants! Dan Fournier is studying smart watch use while performing typical rotator cuff rehabilitation exercises, while Bhillie Luciani is hoping to finish up her MSc thesis collection focusing on pectoralis muscle fatigue in university-aged males.

DIESEL trainees are currently recruiting participants for an upcoming research study!

We are looking for male and female volunteers to help us investigate muscle activity in individuals with different breast tissue thickness.

Members of DIESEL will be travelling to the Ontario Biomechanics Conference (OBC) at the Nottawasaga Inn in Alliston, Ontario on March 10-12th to present some of their recent research to fellow biomechanics undergraduate and graduate students. Now in it's 14th year, OBC is organized to provide an opportunity for Ontario biomechanics students to network and present their work in a casual and nurturing environment.

Congratulations are in order for Rachel Whittaker, who successfully defended her Master's thesis on December 21st, 2016. Rachel presented her research entitled "Upper extremity kinematic changes and shoulder muscle fatigue in a repetitive goal directed task".

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.
