A Research Assistantship position is available at Illinois State University. The job requires up to 20 hours per week and is supported with a $15-%17.00/hr monthly stipend and full tuition waiver. only applicants admitted to the MS degree graduate program are eligible to apply for this position.
Responsibilities include participant recruitment, mocap data collection, mocap data processing and analysis, and generation of reports and manuscripts for various projects. Students with human motion capture, matlab/python, opensim modeling experience desired but not required.
Current research includes sport performance and injury identification in youth , college and Professional baseball pitching, golf swing and running analyses, tactical training and assessment of Fire/Police personnel, pre- and post-surgical therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation of upper and lower limb injuries, functional and prophylactic assessment of hip, knee and ankle braces, and functional assessments of neurologically impaired (MS, Parkinson’s, TBI/mTBI, stroke, spine injury, Alzheimer’s/Dementia).
The laboratory has strong collaborative ties to the Illinois Neurological Institute (https://www.osfhealthcare.org/services/neurosciences/) and with numerous orthopedic (https://www.mcleancountyorthopedics.com/) and physical therapy clinics (https://www.mcleancountyorthopedics....l-therapy.html - http://www.dizzyil.com/ - https://www.osfhealthcare.org/st-jos...nce-dizziness/ throughout the region.
The ISU Biomechanics Laboratory is strategically located on the ground level of the School of Kinesiology/McCormick Hall and is connected via skywalk to the Illinois State University Student Fitness Center. The dedicated motion analysis lab space constitutes 1800 square feet with additional 1000 square footage dedicated to a laboratory/graduate student office, a biomechanics teaching/seminar smart classroom, an EMG and Video analysis suite, a clinical evaluation/isokinetic testing room and a large storage room. The lab is equipped with 3 AMTI force plates, 6-high graphics work stations networked to a 23-camera Vicon Nexus system, an 8-camera Theia Markerless System, 2-portable Hawkins Dynamics Jump Plates, 2-portable V02 Master analyzers, post processing software including Motion Monitor, Visual-3D software and various in-house Matlab/Python routines as well as the OpenSim platform. Additional equipment include an 8-lead liberty/polhemus electromagnetic tracking system with short and long range sensors with dedicated data collection laptop, 6 IMU-Vicon Sensors, an 8-channel hardwired Delsys/Bagnoli EMG system + trigger module with surface (10 single and 4 double differential) and indwelling electrodes, a portable 8-channel Delsys Trigno EMG system, a Biodex 9000 system, a treadmill and numerous linear force transducers, accelerometers and Tendo units.
