DPT students & professor present at conference in Delaware

The Department of Physical Therapy Education and Department of Computing Sciences were represented at the 2014 Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society Conference in Newark, Delaware, from June 24-27, 2014.

Second-year graduate students Ashley Kuzbary and Jordan Moore, and Assistant Professor Srikant Vallabhajosula from Elon’s Department of Physical Therapy Education, presented their research work at the 2014 Gait and Clinical Movement Analysis Society Conference.

Two of the three presentations were work done in collaboration with Associate Professor Shannon Duvall and her student from Elon’s Department of Computing Sciences. The third presentation involved intra-departmental collaboration between Vallabhajosula and Professor Charity Johansson. The three abstracts were selected for poster presentation via a peer-review process that selected 80 out of 150 submitted abstracts.

The authors and titles of the presentations are:
