Get to know our lab

Our lab is a clinical research facility focused on two main focuses: 1) understanding how quality of movement influences functional recovery in mobility-impaired adults and 2) using innovative technology to evaluate, treat and improve functional recovery in adults with deficits in physical function. We are located at the VA Salt Lake City Medical Center campus (Building 8).

Ongoing research interest include osteoarthritis, total joint arthroplasty and amputation. We also contribute to research studying motion and functional recovery experienced by osteointegration for upper and lower limb amputees. Our group maintains active collaborations with clinicians and researchers in the Department of Physical Therapy, Orthopaedics, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Bioengineering and Internal Medicine throughout the Veterans Affairs and University of Utah healthcare systems.
