However\, despite extensive rehabilitation \, nearly 56% of these individuals fail to return to previous functional l evels years after treatment due to lingering neuromuscular impairments. Fo rtunately\, innovative gait rehabilitation and musculoskeletal modeling ca n work synergistically to accelerate individual’s rehabilitation progres sion and improve their long-term joint health. Thus\, my laboratory aims t o integrate unique gait protocols\, data analytics and musculoskeletal mod eling to improve and optimize post-ACL reconstruction individuals’ joint health.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Kristin Morgan is an Assistant Professor in Biome dical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. She received her B.S.\ , M.S.\, and Ph.D. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University\ , Virginia Commonwealth University\, and the University of Tennessee\, res pectively. She was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Kentucky wh ere she was awarded the Lyman T. Johnson Postdoctoral Fellowship. Dr. Morg an has also been the recipient of an NSF CAREER Award and a National Insti tutes of Health K01 Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award. She was one of about 100 outstanding early career engineers invited to the 2021 National Academy of Engineering US Frontiers of Engineering symposiu m. Her research interests are focused on the development of innovative met rics to quantify healthy and altered neuromuscular function to identify th e restoration of healthy motor control as well as the identification of no vel rehabilitation protocols to optimize long-term lower extremity injury outcomes. Her work has been supported by the Office of Naval Research\, Na tional Science Foundation\, General Dynamics Electric Boat\, and the Natio nal Institutes of Health.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Kristin Morgan\, University o f Connecticut\, \n\nRoom: 302/303\, Bldg: Cuneo Hall\, 6430 N Kenmore Ave\ , Loyola University Chicago\, Chicago\, Illinois\, United States\, 60626\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/402078 LOCATION:Room: 302/303\, Bldg: Cuneo Hall\, 6430 N Kenmore Ave\, Loyola Uni versity Chicago\, Chicago\, Illinois\, United States\, 60626\, Virtual: ht tps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/402078 ORGANIZER:vchen@ieee.org SEQUENCE:69 SUMMARY:IEEE ENGINEERING IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY SOCIETY LECTURES – FEBRU ARY 2024 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/402078 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 14pt\;">The <u>IEE E Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society\, Chicago Chapter</u>\, invi tes you to join our Spring Seminar!</span></p>\n<p><span style="font-size: 14pt\;"><strong>TOPIC: INTEGRATING GAIT BIOMECHANICS AND MUSCULOSKELETAL MODELING TO OPTIMIZE HUMAN MOVEMENT</strong></span></p>\n<p><span style="f ont-size: 14pt\;">Over 250\,000 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries occur every year in the United States alone\, costing over $1.5 billion do llars in rehabilitation and reconstruction care.
