AMSSM Awards $300K Research Grant to Develop an Adapted SCAT6 Tool for Use Among Athletes Using Wheelchairs
The AMSSM Collaborative Research Network (CRN) recently announced the recipients of the 2024 AMSSM CRN $300K Research Grant. Drs. Jonathan Finnoff and Eric Post will serve as co-principal investigators for their research project titled, “Development and Validation of an Adapted SCAT6 Tool for Use Among Athletes Who Use Wheelchairs.”
The long-term objective of their project is to develop and validate a Para SCAT6-Wheelchair tool for use with adaptive sport athletes who use wheelchairs as their primary means of mobility and assess the reliability and clinical uses of the Para SCAT6-Wheelchair in adaptive sport athletes who use wheelchairs as their primary means of mobility.
Educational Resources Freely Available on AMSSM’s YouTube Channel
AMSSM’s YouTube channel features two recurring educational video series that continue to provide freely available content for anyone interested - the National Fellow Online Lecture Series and the Sports Ultrasound Case Presentation Series.
The Fellow Online Lecture Series provides educational lectures and panel discussions with experienced AMSSM members, and at times invited guest experts, and also assists in CAQ Exam preparation. Meanwhile, the Sports Ultrasound Case Presentation Series takes place every other week with a presentation for a given body part or presenting complaint. Both of these series are nearly the end of their fifth year, and separate playlists are available for each one.
Find all of these resources and more on the AMSSM YouTube channel and on the Education portion of the AMSSM website.
