My research focuses on neuromuscular and biomechanical contributors to musculoskeletal injury and disease, and how to leverage this information to alleviate long-term impairment and enhance quality of life. The goal of my current investigation is to identify a novel treatment strategy to improve quadriceps
and knee joint function and prevent, or delay, osteoarthritis in those who have sustained anterior
cruciate ligament reconstruction.
