Improving sports safety and wellness for individuals and populations
In the Laboratory
We are most interested in how the nervous system and musculoskeletal system work together to produce human movement, and the relationships between specific movement patterns and neural profiles and musculoskeletal health. We utilize cutting-edge instrumentation to identify factors that can be targeted in athletes/patients to prevent injury and improve performance.
Consider being a part of one of our studies!
In the Community
We work to improve the health and safety of athletes from a variety of populations such as recreational, club, high school, and collegiate sports through multidisciplinary research. We collaborate with high schools, the Pac-12 Conference, and community-based sports medicine clinicians to study and address problems at a population level using a variety of approaches including injury surveillance, policy development and evaluation, and implementation science.
