Dr. Shawn M. Robbins, Director
Post-doctoral fellow, Dalhousie University, School of Physiotherapy
PhD, Western University, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences
BSc, Western University, Health and Rehabilitation Sciences
Current research:
- Biomechanical Factors in Knee Osteoarthritis
- Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Muscoskeletal Conditions
- Applied Ice Hockey Research
Personal Statement:
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Physical and Occupational Therapy, 缅北强奸. My research areas include:
1) utilizing biomechanical, clinical, and physical activity measures to assess musculoskeletal health conditions and the interventions used to treat these conditions in both clinical and laboratory settings. The health condition I primarily examine is knee osteoarthritis. I am currently exploring differences in mechanical and neuromuscular factors between different types of knee osteoarthritis and the impact on disease progression.
2) exploring lower extremity kinematics during ice hockey skating and the impact of equipment design on these variables.
