Research Summary
The primary goal of the Neuromusculoskeletal Health Laboratory is to develop robust indicators of musculoskeletal health and to identify effective treatment strategies that increase physical function and physical activity, and combat muscle and bone deficits in children with movement disorders. We have a special interest in cerebral palsy, the most common movement disorder in children.
