Neuromechanics And Human Physiology

脚和脚踝是肌肉骨骼损伤的常见部位。对这些结构的损伤通常会导致更高的再损伤和不稳定风险，这可能会导致继发性问题，如平衡问题、活动能力下降或联合跌倒导致的骨折/脑震荡。S博士的研究计划将量化不同类型的人类运动(即行走、奔跑)中对脚踝关节稳定性的神经肌肉控制，并开发一种创新的系统来提高脚踝稳定性。这项研究将告诉临床医生如何开发个性化的治疗方法，以提高足踝的稳定性，从而防止受伤、再受伤、摔倒和/或改善活动能力。

The foot and ankle are sites of frequent musculoskeletal injuries. An injury to these structures often results in higher risk of re-injury and instability, which could lead to secondary problems such as balance issues, decreased mobility, or bone fractures/concussions from associative falls. Dr. Asmussen¿s research program will quantify neuromuscular control of foot and ankle joint stability during different types of human locomotion (i.e., walking, running) and develop a innovative system to improve foot-ankle stability. This research will inform clinicians how to develop personalized treatment approaches to improve foot-ankle stability and thus, prevent injury, re-injury, falls, and/or improve mobility.
