Director Bioengineering & Musculoskeletal Disorders Research Lab
Research Interests
The Musculoskeletal Disorders Laboratory (MDL) is actively pursuing the systemic identification of human movement in health while performing daily living functions, work, and sports as well as the syndrome developed upon injury to one or more components of the anatomy.
The understanding of the nature of the interaction between bones, ligaments, discs, tendons, muscles and cartilage, and neural components via spinal networks is of paramount interest to sound orthopaedic practice as it allows optimal design of surgery with follow-up rehabilitation, physical therapy, orthotics, prosthetics and life style changes for maximal benefits of the patients.
