Hello everyone!!! A little update on my life is that I am currently studying for my MCAT that I will be taking at the end of May! Right after my test, I will be leaving to study abroad in Greece for two weeks. I am planning on going right into medical school and specializing in trauma orthopedics and sports medicine :)
My research in the locomotion lab has led me into loving trauma ortho even more! As of right now I have chosen my area of concentration for my senior comp. I will be looking into whether the different types of ACL reconstruction grafts affect post-recovery knee flexion in college-aged women. I will be comparing participants with patellar tendon, hamstring, and cadaver grafts and measuring their knee flexion based off of a drop jump test. This will be done by videotaping participants and then using software to measure the different angles in the knee to determine if the different grafts play a role in post-recovery flexion. There is no clear answer on what the "best" graft choice is, so I am hoping to continue working on this throughout my career. So far I have been working on my literature review along with exploring how I am going to set up my data collection! Comments are closed.
