Our Projects
Take a look at a few of the projects we work on everyday.
Research Project
Determining the biomechanical deficits in individuals with chronic ankle instability
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the stability of the ankle in healthy individuals who experience recurring ankle sprains and feelings of instability.

Neural Biomechanical Ankle Clinical Trial
The purpose of this study is to understand how muscles control the ankle and how individuals respond to unexpected perturbations at the ankle in healthy adults.

Shear wave velocity is sensitive to changes in muscle stiffness that occur independently from changes in force.
Clinical assessments for many musculoskeletal disorders involve evaluation of muscle stiffness, although it is not yet possible to obtain quantitative estimates from individual muscles. Ultrasound elastography can be used to estimate the material properties of unstressed, homogeneous, and isotropic materials by tracking the speed of shear wave propagation; these waves propagate faster in stiffer materials. Although elastography has been applied to skeletal muscle, there is little evidence that…
