I tore my ACL in high school. I was a junior playing basketball and received really good care. I was able to come back my senior year to play basketball, run track and play softball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember my freshman year in college, I didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do with my life as most people don\u2019t. I\u2019m like, \u2018Well, this athletic training sounds like the least objectionable thing.\u2019 I can still have sports in my life. I can help people. It\u2019s something I\u2019m familiar with and I think I would like this more than anything else out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you explain some of the research you are conducting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people are surprised that females are actually at a higher risk of ACL tears, but hour for hour, when you control for exposures, it\u2019s like three to five times greater. This project was developing an injury prevention program specifically targeting females aged 13 to 15.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trying to make it really accessible for people who may not have access to athletic trainers, strength coaches or physical therapists. We\u2019re also studying implicit learning in tandem. For instance, how do you best complete a motor task? Let\u2019s say that you want to shoot a free throw or a tennis serve. You know it becomes automatic at some point.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" data-attachment-id=\"74041\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.utc.edu\/news\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research-at-utc-dr-amy-brock-hon\/behind-the-research\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"behind-the-research\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?fit=880%2C880&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-74041 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Logo for the research series, including a Power C, reading &quot;Behind the Research at UTC&quot;\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=580%2C580&amp;ssl=1 580w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=610%2C610&amp;ssl=1 610w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?resize=75%2C75&amp;ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.utc.edu\/app\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/01\/behind-the-research.png?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we did is in augmented reality; there is a rectangle and each vertex and each point is tied to a specific biomechanical parameter. So staying symmetrical, like when you\u2019re doing a squat, staying symmetrical, putting equal pressure on both feet, that\u2019s one vertex. Make sure your trunk is upright; that\u2019s a side. Making sure your knees aren\u2019t collapsing is another piece of the puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing that biomechanical aspect with some of the motor learning literature to try to develop automatic behavior in biomechanics for young females now, but it has implications throughout the lifespan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the athlete\u2019s response to the test? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a placebo and then an actual control. The placebo just got white noise in their figure. Those people got really frustrated. The people in the true arm liked it because it was gamified. It makes it interesting. You\u2019re trying to figure out a puzzle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>If students are interested in your research, what would you suggest they do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome see me. I have plenty of projects that I need help with right now. My gracious colleagues in the physical therapy department\u2014I work with them a lot\u2014have a motion lab. Most people may not realize they just invested in a new camera system. The camera system over there is a big deal. It is markerless. There\u2019s no need to tag individual anatomical landmarks with the retroreflective markers anymore. It\u2019s a huge upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey would learn how to use that system and collect data, and I could teach them some signal processing and filtering\u2014how we get usable numbers out of these signals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For students interested in athletic training, what advice would you give them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201c<\/strong>Know what you\u2019re getting into and ask questions. I didn\u2019t ask enough questions. I wasn\u2019t as curious as I could have been. Looking back, it\u2019s great to have all the answers to the questions. That\u2019s just being a good student. But at some point, I think your mind has to flip. You have to know the questions that are worth asking, which is an entirely different way of thinking. I wish I had done that more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShadow a variety of settings. Most folks are aware that ATs are in college and high school settings, but many are not aware that we have a strong presence in industry right now. The Volkswagen plant, ATs are running their own prevention clinics because it saves the manufacturer time and money on workman\u2019s comp. We\u2019re in the military and performing arts. We\u2019ve got a few grads who are working in ballet.
