This project will involve biomechanics equipment (markerless motion analysis system and force plates) for data collection and dissemination for those who are interested in knee exoskeleton study /movement biomechanics /military human performance research. What will I be doing? As an ORISE participant, you will join a community of scientists and researchers in an effort to contribute to investigating the effects of powered knee exoskeleton on military performance tests and musculoskeletal injury risk screening tests. Exoskeleton technology augments human mobility by reducing the metabolic cost of walking and running in healthy individuals and by providing additional joint torque needed to complete activities of daily living in neurologically compromised individuals. Exoskeleton technologies are of interest to the military given they may be a viable biomedical materiel solution to improve occupational task performance and reduce musculoskeletal injury (MSKI) risk in Soldiers. While exoskeleton use is intended to benefit the Soldier, the added weight of the exoskeleton itself may actually compromise movement patterns and place Soldiers at greater risk of sustaining a MSKI. Whether current exoskeleton technologies augment occupational performance without affecting MSKI risk in Soldiers has not been determined.  Why should I apply?  Under the guidance of a mentor, you will gain hands-on experience to complement your education and support your academic and professional goals. Along the way, you will learn and be involved in the different aspects of project. These include, but are not limited to, regulatory-documents preparation become proficient/familiar with laboratory testing procedures recruitment/briefing data collection/analysis data dissemination/report/manuscript writing/conference presentation You will be mentored by the Principal Investigator, Dr. Nagai.
