Alec Smith has been awarded an Innovation Pilot Award by ISCRM. This Washington-State-funded one year grant will fund research into the effect of Duchenne muscular dystrophy on muscle spindles, the sensory receptor structures within skeletal muscle that allow us to sense the extent and speed of contraction of our muscles to permit coordinated movement.
