| My research focuses on the biomechanics of human locomotion, with particular interest in the in vivo measurement of muscle and tendon mechanics. Specific research interests include:
Muscle and tendon mechanics for locomotion Linking the mechanics and energetics of locomotion Muscle morphology and function in healthy and injured/impaired individuals Muscle and tendon injury mechanics |
