Presented my PhD work at RMASB this weekend! 🧠👟 Looked at how carbon fiber insole stiffness affects walking in older adults. Stiffer isn’t always better — comfort matters! Grateful for the feedback, support, & biomechanics fam. 🙌 #RMASB #Biomechanics #PhDLife

Will Feldman evaluating limb asymmetry and variation in hopping. #biomechsky #RMASB #IMSI @birdbiomech.bsky.social @lukenjessup.bsky.social

The Mines group at the Rocky Mountain American Society of Biomechanics meeting - go team! #biomechsky #RMASB

Big congrats to Anna Corman for winning Best Doctoral Podium at RMASB! 🏆

She crushed her talk on how personalizing musculoskeletal models—esp. muscle strength—affects joint contact force estimates and injury risk.

Jordan Sturdy presenting individual variation in spinal kinematics. #biomechsky #RMASB #IMSI

#MinesME PhD candidate Mike Miller shared his analysis of ankle muscle function in sit-to-walk using musculoskeletal modeling.

Great energy from the RMASB crowd—already excited for next year!

Rocky Mountain ASB meeting updates coming your way, fast and furious :) #biomechsky #RMASB

Anna Corman presenting her work on model personalization.

Day 2 Rocky Mountain ASB - Jordan Sturdy presenting on behalf of Mines ME undergrad research fellow Ava Watson sharing work on body center of mass motion during a step down task.

Appreciate all the thoughtful discussion from the regional biomechanics community!

Day 2 of Rocky Mountain ASB was excellent!

Sabrina Kazi, Mines ME undergrad research fellow mentored by Mike Miller, presented her results on ground reaction forces as an effect of age and limb during sit-to-stand.
