Stoffregen

Thomas Stoffregen, Ph.D., professor and director of the Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory in the School of Kinesiology, gave an invited talk Friday, April 6, at the 2018 Sport Movement Skill Conference at Concordia University, St. Paul. He spoke on “Movement kinematics can predict individual susceptibility to mTBI.”  His work with former advisee Yi-Chou Chen, Ph.D., examined posture in relation to the fact that nausea and vomiting are common early symptoms of concussion and showed that objective measures of postural sway predict susceptibility to symptoms of mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury) in competition boxers.
