Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Abigail C. Schmitt's research focuses on biomechanical phenomena related to human movement, particularly gait and walking patterns. Her work investigates how these patterns differ across age groups and in individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease. Schmitt has studied the effects of medication, such as levodopa, on gait kinetics in Parkinson's patients and explored strategies for maintaining fast walking speeds in older adults at risk for mobility disability. She has also examined joint moments during activities like the golf swing in older adults and compared them to daily living activities. In addition to her work on human movement, Schmitt has explored the application of markerless tracking technology to analyze athletic performance, specifically in collegiate baseball pitchers, examining angular velocity differences in fastballs. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 12, with 39 total publications and 364 total citations.
