Research
Focus
- My research focus includes the biomechanical analysis of the lower extremity using the Oxford Foot Model and Vicon Motion Analysis system. Currently, I am serving as a co-investigator in a research project that is assessing the biomechanical effects of static stretching of the gastrocnemius on the position of the midfoot in patients with a history of cumulative trauma in the lower extremities.
