New research being conducted by Emily Fonke, a professor in the Department of Physical Therapy, may help prevent the injuries of collegiate cross country runners by reshaping rehabilitation.
Fonke’s research is based on studying the forces affecting the body upon its impact with the ground. Her research studies this by looking into dynamic postural sway, or the ability to maintain the body’s center of gravity within the limits of stability.
