Research
Research Interests
I am interested in elucidating injury mechanisms of the musculoskeletal system, especially those that relate to cumulative trauma disorders of the forearm, wrist, and hand. Toward that goal, my lab-based research spans a number of research modalities, including marker-less motion capture, ultrasound, and high-density electromyography to assess musculoskeletal function in both optimal and fatigued states. As opportunities arise, I also complete field-based research projects on injury prevention in the workplace, especially in relation to the forearm, wrist, and hand.
