In the Biodynamics
Lab, we study sports-related injuries and neurological impairment
and develop new rehabilitation approaches for clinical problems.
In collaboration with physiatrists, orthopaedic surgeons and
therapists, we study injury and compensation mechanisms of pathological
knee conditions, quantify reflex/non-reflex and dynamic/static
factors contributing to spasticity in neurological impairment,
determine in vivo load sharing and co-contraction among
individual muscles, and develop rehabilitation devices and protocols
for the injuries and impairment.
The Biodynamics
Lab is directed by Dr. Li-Qun Zhang. Lab staff includes postdoctoral
fellows Hyung-Soon Park, PhD, Chulhyun Ahn, MD, Fan Gao, PhD,
Yupeng Ren, graduate students David Fung, Nicole Wilson. Collaborating
physicians include Drs. Elliot Roth, MD, Zev Rymer, MD, PhD,
Jason Koh, MD, Ronald Hendrix, MD, Matthew Hepler, MD, Debbie
Gaebler-Spira, MD, Sun Chung, MD,PhD, Gordon Nuber, MD, Joel
Press, MD, James Sliwa, DO, Steven Levin, MD, Takashi Nishida,
MD, Robert Sufit, MD, and Thomas Grant, DO.
