Kristin Tivener of the Sports Medicine and Athletic Training department traveled to Barcelona, Spain last week to present her research at the ESSKA Conference. The ESSKA (European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery, and Arthoroscopy) conference is held annually and includes members who in the majority are sports medicine physicians and orthopedic surgeons in Europe. Kristin presented her research on the new special test that she developed with Dr. Louis Metzman over a novel special test to diagnose distal bicep tendon ruptures. This research (the Supination-Pronation Test) was published in the American Journal of Orthopedic this year in the United States.
Kristin states “I want to thank the SMAT department, the College of Health and Human Services, and the MSU Graduate college for their support and funding my travel to the ESSKA Congress. I could not have been more thrilled for the opportunity to present my research internationally.”
Well done Kristin!
