Research Summary/Interests
My research focuses on lower extremity injuries: prevention, rehabilitation, and return to sport. My current research projects include a longitudinal survey of high school coaches, injury prevention programs, and team performance as well as work with the University of Minnesota athletic teams. I also have interdisciplinary collaborations involving wearable technologies and orthopedic assessment mannequin simulators.
