Dr. Cobb’s research interests are focused on ankle and foot function during gait. Specifically, he is interested in investigation of the pathoetiological factors and abnormal lower extremity and foot gait mechanics associated with common ankle and foot pathologies (e.g. foot pain in older adults, plantar heel pain, chronic ankle instability). The goal of his research is to identify modifiable factors that can be targeted during treatment/rehabilitation interventions for patients, and/or in programs aimed at preventing ankle and foot injury/disease.

Dr. O’Connor’s primary research focus is on the biomechanics of musculoskeletal injury. The effects of fatigue may be central to understanding overuse running injuries, such as anterior knee pain and traumatic injuries, and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.

Dr. Keenan’s work is dedicated to understanding the interplay between motor function, physical activity and health. Experimental procedures used in the laboratory include high-density surface EMG arrays (up to 256 EMG recordings), long-term (>6 hrs) EMG recordings, indwelling EMG recordings, force sensors, motion capture and computational modeling.

In his research, Dr. Wang attempts to delineate the neural mechanisms that underlie hemispheric lateralization for motor control and learning, which involves the issues of handedness, motor memory, and adaptation to novel sensorimotor conditions. He is also interested in investigating research topics that deal with neurorehabilitation, aging, concussion and neuromotor disorders.
