Research

Our research in the Sports Injury Research Center Biomechanics Laboratory focuses on lower extremity function. As well, we are interested variability of performance and performances strategies. General areas of inquiry include:

  • Retro Locomotion: Balance Intervention Investigations
  • Deep Water Running Comparative to Dry Land Running
  • Kinetics of Child Running (shoes, surfaces, speeds)
  • Perturbation Effects on Impact Attenuation During Running
  • Impact Attenuation Variability During Running
  • Strategy Responses to System Perturbations/Stressors
  • Classes
