Gender Differences in Incidence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Athletes

A series of studies investigating gender differences in landing mechanics in adult and preadolescent subjects

Weight Training in Older Adults

A research study to assess the effects of detraining on previous strength gains in the older adult and determine if the degree of detraining was influenced by training intensity

Lower Back Injury from Stoop Type Lifting

A study to determine if strong well-conditioned trunk muscles relieve stresses encountered by the lumbar spine during stoop type lifting and thus reduce the risk of injury.

Spinal-Pelvic Fixation Assemblies

The biomechanical behavior of spinal-pelvic fixation assemblies of stainless steel and titanium are being evaluated experimentally.

Computer Model of the Female Knee

Using a biomechanical modeling software package called SIMM, COBR researchers are creating a virtual woman to study ACL injuries in female athletes
