Candidate Name: Madison Swails Program: Biology Committee Chair: Luke Donovan Committee Members: Abbey Thomas, Adam Reitzel, Didier Dreau, Kristen Funk, Carolyn Horne Abstract: The altered gait patterns observed in individuals with chronic ankle instability \(CAI\) are associated with repetitive ankle sprains, episodes of giving-way, and altered loading patterns in the talar cartilage; thus, precipitating early onset ankle osteoarthritis. Laboratory/clinic-based gait interventions can alter thes
