HSC Lab publishes in the journal Clinical Neurophysiology

A former Human Sensorimotor Control (HSC) Laboratory member, Jacquelyn Sertic, PhD, is the lead author of a study that characterized the extent of ankle position sense dysfunction and its relationship with abnormal muscle tone in people with Parkinson's Disease (PD). The results document that impairments in proprioceptive processing contribute to both proprioceptive dysfunction and rigidity in PD. This study was part of her dissertation work and is now published in Clinical Neurophysiology. HSC lab members Jason Kang, PhD student, and Jürgen Konczak, PhD, professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the HSC Laboratory, are co- and senior author of the study. Sertic works currently a postdoctoral researcher in rehabilitation science at the University of Minnesota.
