Mizzou Point-of-Care Assessment System (MPASS)

The MPASS provides portable and affordable motion analysis and motor function assessment outside the gait lab. Current MPASS projects include: 1) concussion diagnosis and recovery, 2) mild cognitive impairment, frailty and fall risk, 3) cerebral palsy, and 4) anterior cruciate ligament injury return to play.

Analysis of Human Movement

The MAC uses functional joint methods and custom skeletal models to accurately quantify human motion. Focus areas in human movement research include arthrokinematic knee motion, foot motion, fall risk, and pediatric gait.

Analysis of Knee Biomechanics

Anterior Cruciate Ligament loading and injury mechanisms. Menisci mechanics and loading.

Analysis of joing loading during movement

Simulations that combine custom muscle driven musculoskeletal models with subject specific geometries and gait data to analyze loading on knee structures and tissues during ambulation. These tools provide greater understanding of knee biomechanics and soft tissue function.
