Abstract
USU senior Hunter, born and raised here in Logan, is a research assistant studying kinesiology. In sports, military action, and manual-labor jobs, many injuries affect not only the site of the injury but also the brain’s ability to receive communication from that site. Hunter’s project focuses on how people with and without ACL prior tears perform certain movement actions. This is the first study that simultaneously observes the physical response of the body as well as the brain activity during the tests, and may lead to more effective rehabilitation of such injuries in the future. Hunter found his passion for sports medicine as he played a lot of sports during high school. He hopes to go on to med school after USU to become an orthopedic surgeon.
