Welcome to the Wellsandt Lab!
Why do we do what we do? In short, to better the patient experience and outcomes after injury. Our primary goals are to:
- Understand and optimize outcomes after lower extremity musculoskeletal injury
- Promote a safe return to pre-injury activities, lifelong physical activity and function, and long-term joint health.
How do we do this? We use a patient-centered and interdisciplinary approach to ask relevant research questions and seeks answers through rigorous and sound methodological design and analysis using the following tools:
- Biomechanical movement analysis
- Physical activity monitoring
- Clinical testing measures such as isokinetic muscle strength testing
- Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Body fluid biomarkers analyses.
We appreciate your interest in our lab! If you have any questions or would like additional information about our lab, please contact the lab director:
Liz Wellsandt, PT, DPT, PhD, OCS
