Jürgen Konczak, Ph.D., professor of kinesiology and director of the Human Sensorimotor Control Lab, was recognized as a senior lecturer at the recent meeting of the North American Society for Sport Psychology and Physical Activity (NASPSPA). Each year NASPSPA invites scientists in each of the following fields: motor control, motor learning, and exercise psychology to give a lecture. Konczak gave an address titled, “Proprioception and Motor Control in Development and Disease.”

Additionally, four members of the HSCL research team, Joshua Aman, Ph.D., and graduate students Naveen Elangovan, I-ling Yeh and Jessica Holst-Wolf, presented at NASPSPA. They showcased recent work on measuring proprioceptive function in typically developing children and on the efficacy of training the proprioceptive sense in adults.
