Bridget Duffy of Danbury was among exercise science majors who led demonstrations of hands-on demonstrations of sophisticated biomechanical measurement equipment for high school students from Wyoming Valley West as part of National Biomechanics Day at The University of Scranton.
Equipment used in demonstrations included: three-dimensional motion analysis using a 12-camera kestrel motion analysis system; electromyography using an eight-channel NORAXON system and dynamometry using a Biodex System: and computerized dynamic posturography with a NeuroCom EquiTest.
Demonstrations were led by University of Scranton Exercise Science and Sport Professor Bryon Applequist, Ph.D., Exercise Science Lab Coordinator Cheryil Demkosky and University exercise science students: Dominick Algeri, a junior from Massapequa, New York; Michael Chiapperino, a junior from Blauvelt, New York; Cristina Cacoilo, a junior from Edison Valley, New Jersey; Bridget Duffy, a senior from Danbury, Connecticut; Cesar Garcia, a senior from Ronkonkoma, New York; Dylan Kane, a junior from Blauvelt, New York; Haley Miller, a junior from Hawley, Pennsylvania; and Nicole Sanchirico, a senior from Marlton, New Jersey.
