The Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society is an international society that promotes the study of abnormal movement in subjects with joint and neurological problems. Candace completed a nine-month-long project evaluating the ankle strength of subjects with posterior tibial tendinitis at the Ithaca College Movement Analysis Laboratory in Rochester. This study establishes a novel method of testing strength for these individuals. The results suggest this novel strength testing protocol will be useful in clinical trials currently underway as part of Chris Nevilles' (left) doctoral studies in Rochester.
Candace's participation was made possible by a grant from the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society obtained by Dr. Houck (right). Candace will complete her master of science in physical therapy this September. Please join me in congratulating Candace on a job well done!
