Quantifying Upper Extremity Postures and Muscle Activity During IV Pole Use
This work is lead by graduate student Victoria Breitner. The Holmes Lab has partnered with Lakeridge Health and Notion Medical Inc. to evaluate a new ergonomically designed IV Pole. Dr. Holmes was recently invited to present this work at the 2014 HealthAchieve Conference.
Quantifying physical demands in the workplace: Using occupational biomechanics to identify mechanisms of injury
Dr. Holmes was recently a symposium speaker at the 2014 Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Conference, held in St. John’s NL.
