Research Interests
My senior undergraduate research project focuses on post-operative physical rehabilitation in the knee. I first will be designing a device capable of generating passive knee motion. I will then be able to use the device to measure knee joint kinematics and kinetics in specimens. This data can then be used to determine the effectiveness of current post-operative physical therapy methodology.
