OverviewAI-generated summary

Abigail C. Schmitt's research investigates human movement, particularly gait and locomotion in various populations. Her work includes studies on how age affects walking patterns, comparing indoor, outdoor, and treadmill ambulation in healthy young and older adults. She has also examined interventions for mobility issues, such as the use of Levodopa to improve gait kinetics in individuals with Parkinson's disease and the potential of closed-loop deep brain stimulation for freezing of gait in this population. Schmitt's research extends to sports biomechanics, with recent publications analyzing collegiate baseball pitchers' pitching mechanics using markerless tracking technology and investigating joint moments during the golf swing in older adults. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 12, 38 total publications, and 353 total citations.
