Interesting fact about Jacey
I was a Physical Therapist Assistant for 6 years before becoming a PT. I grew up in the surrounding area and am very grateful that I was able to return here to pursue my career after completing my schooling.

A Simple Non-invasive Method for Temporary Knockdown of Upper Limb Proprioception; 2015; JoVE (Journal of Visualized Experiments); https://www.jove.com/video/57218/a-simple-non-invasive-method-for-temporary-knockdown-upper-limb; doi:10.3791/57218;

As a student, I participated in creating this manuscript following completion of a research project which involved the development of a protocol for a practical method to temporarily interfere with proprioception in the upper limb of healthy humans. This protocol would then be useful in the development and testing of upper limb proprioception measures.
