Jason Franz, M.S.
Motion Analysis Lab, Research
Jason Franz received both his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Engineering Mechanics from Virginia Tech, with emphasis in the field of Biomechanics. His graduate work focused both on stability control during normal standing sway, as well as the quantification of intrinsic and muscle reflex components of knee joint stiffness. Both projects remain ongoing at the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Laboratory at Virginia Tech.
His interest in biomechanical gait analysis stems from the intriguing combination of biomedical research and engineering analysis, resulting in a dynamic working environment which presents a new challenge each and every day.
