She designed a research question that she developed while volunteering with a Northern Arizona adaptive skiing program. Talkington conferred with Dr. Tarang Jain and Dr. John Heick to ask if they were interested in evaluating what plyometric jumps best facilitate gluteus medius and maximus. Maddie then wrote the introduction for the IRB application, collected the data for all of the participants, participated in data analysis, and wrote an appropriate and well-researched introduction for a manuscript that will be submitted to the\u00a0<u>International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy<\/u>\u00a0this fall. Maddie\u2019s poster on this topic was presented at the NAU Graduate Poster Symposium last spring and was accepted as a poster for the APTA\u2019s Combined Sections meeting in February 2020 in Denver, Colorado. She volunteered as director of timing for the Go Big for Parkinson\u2019s 5k run and volunteered for the Northern Arizona Adaptive Sports Association at the Arizona Snowbowl resort. She represents herself and\u00a0the CHHS\u00a0program as an exemplary patient advocate, budding researcher, and empathetic new clinician.
