Research Interests:

The identification and treatment of neuromuscular impairments after musculoskeletal injury for the purposes of improving rehabilitation outcomes. A particular research interest is neuromuscular impairments after knee injury that may contribute to the development of post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis.
