Research Interests
Dr. Heiderscheit's research addresses various aspects of human movement, with an emphasis primarily on the underlying mechanics and their relation to injury. My current projects include:
- Understanding the immediate and long term changes in muscle-tendon morphology and function following injury and recovery.
- Determining if running form modification can serve as an effective adjunct to the standard of care for various running-related injuries.
- Using a performance testing battery to track injury-risk and athletic performance in student-athletes.
- Developing a web-based animated exercise library of rehabilitation exercises that can be accessed over the Internet by patients under the care of physical therapists.
