Chronic pain and disability associated with musculoskeletal disease or injury is highly prevalent among older adults. This prevalence relates to both innate, predisposing factors pertaining to individual anatomy and accumulated exposures that modify neuromuscular demand during work, leisure and activities of daily living. Prevention and rehabilitation of these pathologies is complicated by the extensive interpersonal variability exhibited in tissue morphology and movement strategies. My research in the area of biomechanics of musculoskeletal health and injury prevention, uses combined experimental and computational modelling-based methods to investigate mechanisms of injury and develop effective exercise rehabilitation strategies for chronic musculoskeletal conditions that accompany age.
