Research interests and skills

Biomechanics, markerless motion capture, motion patterns and future risk of injury, and spinal stiffness.

 

Ongoing research

  • Gender distribution of speakers at chiropractic conferences (CARL project with Sasha Aspinall, Eric Roseen, Casper Glissman Nim, Cecilie K Øverås, Steen Harsted, James Young, Amy Miller, Greg Kawchuk, and Jan Hartvigsen)

  • A quantitative investigation into pain diagrams and the psychological profiles and patient characteristics of the patients who draw them (CARL project with Casper Glissman Nim, James Young, and David McNaughton)
