Résumé
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.
