Assistant Professor, University of Tennessee, College of Education, Health & Human Sciences, Exercise, Sport & Leisure Studies
Education:
Ph.D., University of Leeds, Biomechanics, 1999
M.Sc., University of Leeds, Anatomy, 1996
B.Sc., University of Durham, Biological Sciences, 1995
Research Area:
Biomechanics, gait, joint replacement, knee, osteoarthritis, walking, running, overuse injuries, gait retraining, injury, rehabilitation
Research Description:
My interests are in the biomechanics of lower extremity injury and rehabilitation. I have expertise in biomechanics and gait analysis. Currently, I am working on projects related to function after knee replacement surgery, gait retraining, and injury risk in female athletes. I am particularly interested in the development and progression of osteoarthritis in other lower extremity joints after an initial joint replacement. Since osteoarthritis is a loading-related disease, I am particularly interested in retraining abnormal gait mechanics in this population as a precursor to participation in walking programs to improve fitness and joint health and enable weight loss.
