Research/Areas of Interest

A major research interest of mine focuses on the effects of lower extremity structural limitations on the mechanics and energetics of locomotion. I use an interdisciplinary approach to my research that draws from three primary areas: biomechanics, exercise physiology, and motor control. Thus, my research philosophy is one that involves a number of research collaborators with expertise in different areas. Research projects I am currently involved with include: 1) functional outcomes following lower extremity amputation, 2) postural stability and gait mechanics in various populations including cancer survivors and those with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis, 3) effects of loading on barefoot energetics and mechanics, and 4) musculoskeletal modeling of amputee locomotion.
