Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Lab

Wearable sensors are ubiquitous and allow for the quantification of tissue and joint mechanics in real-world environments. We are using wearables in a variety of capacities to understand healthy human movement, changes that occur due to injury, and how wearables can assist with objective assessment of recover and treatment effectiveness.

Animal models provide the benefit of characterizing tissue function and structure during any stage of development, homeostasis, or disease. We are developing a non-invasive, direct assessment of in vivo tissue loading for animal models to provide a more comprehensive understanding of preclinical therapeutics.
