Congratulations Team KAir-Force!
Undergraduate BME students Lauren Levey, Doug Follmer, Shubhra Kocher & Adam Zurmehly, also referred to as Team KAir-Force, won the award for their student poster titled “A Fully Adjustable Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthotic for Clinical Training and Diagnostic Use in Patients with T-6 or Below Spinal Cord Injuries.” These students are part of the Biomedical Engineering 501/502 senior design capstone course, and are supervised and mentored by Mark Ruegsegger, PhD, Clinical Assistant Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies of BME.
The Multiple Perspectives on Access, Inclusion, and Disability Annual Conference was held April 24 – 25th. Hosted by the Ohio State University’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the ADA Coordinator’s Office, with generous support from the Ethel Louise Armstrong Foundation, the Multiple Perspectives conference brought together a diverse audience of over 200 participants to discuss the full spectrum of disability research issues and experiences for its twelfth year.
The theme for the 2012 Multiple Perspectives conference “Experience Understood in Image, Poetry, Narrative, and Research” inspired twenty-three concurrent sessions, three public lectures and the annual student poster competition.
The $200 award will go towards supporting the BME capstone course.
Kudos to Team KAir-Force and Dr. Mark Ruegsegger!
