Slavens discusses research on motion analysis with CTSI Discovery Radio

In February, Brooke Slavens, associate professor, mechanical and biomedical engineering, spoke to CTSI Discovery Radio for their episode “All in the Wrist: MRI & Motion Analysis Research Study.” 

Slavens and her clinical collaborators at Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin discussed using MRI and motion analysis technologies to improve diagnoses, treatment and management of various degenerative conditions and injuries of the wrist.

In this study, Slavens compares 4D MRI data to motion analyses of the hand and wrist. The work is done in UWM’s Mobility Laboratory, which Slavens directs. 

CTSI is a monthly radio show and podcast produced by the Clinical & Translational Science Institute of Southeast Wisconsin.
