Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Associate Professor and Section Chief of Sports Medicine Amit Momaya, M.D., was honored to have his abstract accepted at the 15th Annual Emory Sports Medicine Symposium.

This year, the Emory Sports Medicine Symposium was virtual. The symposium is a high level multi-disciplinary conference targeted to physical therapists, athletic trainers, primary care providers, sports medicine providers, researchers, and allied sports-health specialists.

Joseph Elphingstone, the year’s past research fellow, presented the abstract on the NordBord system which tests hamstring strength.

“This was a great opportunity to represent UAB Sports and Exercise Medicine as a major player in the southeastern sports medicine game,” said Momaya. “We are able to provide excellent care to our student and pro athletes because of our research efforts like this.”
