  • Research Interests

    My research interests are on the biomechanics of injury, movement coordination and variability, as well as participant-specific musculoskeletal modeling. My current research projects have focused on the mechanisms of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and particularly the influences of strength and movement anticipation to knee loading during athletic tasks. Other research projects are aimed at understanding the effects of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, knee osteoarthritis, and chronic ankle instability on lower extremity gait mechanics.
