Athletic Training/Motor Control
Research Laboratory
(AT/MCRL)
is a
Multifaceted facility
within the Department
of Kinesiology (Room K-130)
and is directed by John W. McChesney,
Ph.D., LAT.
who is also the director of the
Athletic
Training Education Program
The AT/MCRL is a satellite of the
BSU
Center for Orthopaedic and Biomechanics Research
The focus of the AT/MCRL is to investigate:
Somatosensory Contributors
to
Motor Performance
and aspects of
Orthopaedic Rehabilitation.
The AT/MCRL invites collaboration to assist in answering related research questions. We have found that through partnerships, our effort and resources can be maximized to facilitate scientific pursuit of the truth. Please feel free to contact the lab director to discuss an experimental proposition or concept.
The AT/MCRL has apparatus to collect and analyze data on:
Joint Position Sense (JPS) of the ANKLE and KNEE
and JPS of the SHOULDER and WRIST
Center of Pressure Analysis & Electromyography
Perturbed Stance Electrogoniometry
(photo coming soon!)
"We
continually pursue answers to theoretically based
health related research questions
while
employing the highest experimental standards
and furthering the education of our graduate students."
