Quantified gait analysis in neuromusculoskeletal disorders, Return-to-Sports Evaluations, Sports Medicine
My research interests are directly in line with experimental surgery. I focus on two main field of research: Gait and motion analysis in youth with musculoskeletal disorders and Sports Medicine. My research in the field of gait analysis is oriented towards understanding the impact of a disorder on patients’ gait and mobility function and to quantify the improvements that occur following a surgery or a physical therapy intervention. For sports medicine, my interest lies in identifying risk factors for re-injury following an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and reconstruction and to identifying risk factors for a first ACL tear injury. It also aims at identifying factors leading to better recovery following ACL-reconstruction surgery.
