Mentor Areas
My research is focused on improving tendon healing and functional outcomes in patients who suffer Achilles tendon injuries. This work leverages ultrasound imaging to characterize muscle-tendon structure, motion capture and dynamometery to quantify function, wearable sensors to monitor tendon loading, and computational simulations to build confidence in our experimental measurements.
Description:
Our group is developing wearable sensor platforms to monitor patient function and activity outside of the clinic. Part of this research is focused on improving the user interface to increase patient participation in clinical research.
Preferred Qualifications
