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.
Additional information regarding these projects can be found on the Neuromuscular Biomechanics Laboratory website
