Musculoskeletal Health and Sports Medicine

Several ongoing and recently completed research projects are studying potential risks for injury in sports such as running, lacrosse and baseball. These projects use a combination of motion analysis, on-field monitoring and video analysis, functional testing and injury surveillance to determine: 1) physiological and motion factors related to injury over time, 2) workload as injury risks. Some of this this work was funded by US Lacrosse.
