Dr. André Schmidt

Collaboration project with Dr. Rich Willy (Human Gait Lab) in the Department of Physical Therapy and Sports: gait analyses with of runners with a high risk of tibial stress fractures using a six infrared camera system (3D-markerbased) and a split-belt treadmill to collect 3D substrate reaction forces.
