For the last two weeks, MOM students have been hard at work learning, practicing, and preparing for our annual Summer Mercer on Mission: Vietnam trip. The course work is designed to prepare students to work efficiently in fitting Below-Knee, Above-Knee, and hand amputations, while also developing orthopedic clinic and physical therapy skills.

Following the completion of the course, students will prepare to begin traveling to Vietnam on Monday, May 18th 2026.

This past weekend, two of our Mercer on Mission 2025 students (Addison Denney: Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, ‘27 and Priya Patel: Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering, ‘27) flew to the annual Biomedical Engineering Society conference in California. Over the last summer trip to Vietnam, they used the Noraxon Myomotion Markerless Capture System for their research project analyzing the gait asymmetries in patients with unilateral sciatica. Their results found that the affected leg showed a shorter stance phase and reduced hip and knee flexion, indicating pain avoidant walking patterns. The study overall showed how accessible and low cost motion capture can be when evaluating gait in low resource regions.
