Research Project
Stiff Knee Gait and Rectus Transfer
The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of the hip power in 3D Gait Analysis to select a set of preoperative gait features that distinguished between good (i.e., no longer stiff) and poor (i.e., remaining stiff) postoperative outcomes after rectus transfer surgery in children with Cerebral Palsy.
Research Project
Foot Pressure and Force Trajectory Changes Resulting from the Dwyer Procedure
To evaluate the Dwyer procedure we will assess the changes in foot pressure distribution and center of force (COF) trajectory of patients who had gait analysis done at the Motion Analysis Center.
Research Project
Error augmentation in 2 and 3 dimesions
Rather than helping someone move, we rely on the aspects of neuroplasticity in the brain to facilitate learning to move, or re-learning after an injury.
Research Project
Stability and mobility in subjects with Parkinson’s disease while using a Segway

Skeletal Muscle Design in Animals and People
Purpose of skeletal muscle is to produce force and, ultimately, movement. As such, this highly specialized tissue has been studied extensively by bioengineers.
Research Project
Computational and Mathematical Modeling of Human Knee Joints
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructive surgeries, employing a total of 48 models, were conducted by virtually removing the ACL and then modeling the surgical preparation, tunnel architecture, graft pre-tensioning and fixation angle of a bone-patellar-tendon-bone autograft.
