Research Summary
My research focuses on the long-term effects of musculoskeletal injury and disorders of the lower extremity. These long-term consequences include osteoarthritis (OA), pain, and disability. I am especially interested in identifying modifiable risk factors for injury and OA and developing non-pharmacologic/non-surgical treatments and prevention strategies.
