Research emphasis:

Major research focus is the kinematic and biomechanical evaluation of equine lameness and limb injury. Past projects include the kinematic evaluation of lameness caused by distal tarsal pain. Current projects include mathematical modeling of pelvic movement during hindlimb lameness, evaluation of kinematic parameters describing foot and carpal lameness, and biomechanical evaluation of transfixation casting.
