Bonnor, Genevieve

Genevieve Bonnor was a finalist in the 2024 UBC Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. Genevieve presented their research, "Athletic Motion Sensing: How to Reduce Soft Tissue Jiggle in Impact Measurement." They hope to understand more about how the knee acts during movement which will help better predict injury severity and risk. Many knee injuries in athletics occur due to an athlete changing directions at a fast speed, such as a pivot move in soccer. We can measure by using motion sensors, which are put onto the athletes’ skin. We typically want to find the bone motion, but when motion sensors are worn on the skin, they also observe the motion of soft tissues on top of the bones, which is referred to as soft tissue artifacts. The objective of this research is to remove these soft tissue artifacts, by creating a model of the knee using ballistic gelatin and collecting motion sensor data on impacts. Genevieve Bonnor is completing their Master of Applied Science in Biomedical Engineering in the School of Biomedical Engineering under the supervision of Dr. Calvin Kuo.
