Research Projects

Muscle and bone health are a part of everyone's lives, but the importance of these systems is often overlooked until there is an injury. While most people can easily understand the implications of athletic injuries, they rarely think about the impact of injury on police, fire, military and other first responders or older adults and clinical populations. Our research focuses on these unique populations.
