Pediatric Sports injuries: As more children and adolescents become active in sports, injuries relating to their involvement have become more common. Patellar instability and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are commonly seen in this age group. My research in this area focuses on identifying injuries quickly and helping kids get back to their desired sports and activities.

Cerebral palsy and gait analysis: Cerebral palsy is a neuromuscular condition that affects gait (walking) and posture. Instrumented gait analysis allows us to accurately document how a child is walking and identify ways in which we can improve their mobility. My research in this area focuses on using instrumented gait analysis to assess the impact of orthopaedic surgical interventions in children with cerebral palsy.
