NIOSH R03
PI:
Sara Wilson
Vibration, Proprioception,
and Low Back Stability
$141,848 for one year
September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2005.
This
project is for the assessment of muscle spindle
organ vibration and its effects on low back stability
and proprioception. This research investigates
the basic pathways by which vibration may induce
decreased low back stabilization and increased
injury risk. This research examines the effects
of vibration both during vibration exposure and
after vibration exposure.

Whitaker Foundation Biomedical Engineering
Research Grant
PI: Sara Wilson
Lumbar Spine Proprioception and Low Back Stability
$239,700 September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2006.
This
project is for the assessment of whole body vibration
and its effects on low back stability and proprioception.
This research investigates how whole body vibration
may lead to loss in low back stabilization and
injury risk after vibration exposure.
