Bio
I am currently a Teaching Assistant Professor, at North Carolina A&T State University, in the Department of Kinesiology. In my educational background, as a physical therapist, biomechanist, and athletic trainer, I have had experiences in rehabilitative work of acute and chronic injuries to provide a multi-disciplinary approach of the human body. My practical experiences in the above-mentioned professions has allowed me to bring a more in depth look into the physical functioning of individuals.
Research Interests
My research interests are related to injury prevention and performance enhancement research opportunities examining abnormal movement patterns in the lower extremity with emphasis on hamstring injuries, altered reciprocal inhibition, gait/foot mechanics, and the lumbo-pelvic complex (LPHC). I have previously explored activation of the hamstring musculature and I am in the early stages of developing a normative database of pre-cursors involved in hamstring injuries. My dissertation focused on the lower extremity during throwing mechanics to aid in the prevention of hamstring injuries.
