Mercer on Mission Vietnam

10/13/2025

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.

Hi everyone! It has been a long time since our students and faculties are able to travel with Mercer On Mission - Orthopedic and Prosthetic Mission. This year our team had a successful return trip to Preah Vihear, Kingdom of Cambodia. During the trip, we reached out to a total of 459 patients (including 369 prosthetic legs, 42 prosthetic hands, and 48 orthopedic patients with disabilities). We are looking forward to expanding our service in Cambodia in the upcoming years to cope with the demand for prosthetic services and orthopedic treatments in the country! We will keep you posted with further updates. Thank you so much for your support!
