My Lab
Neuromuscular Control Lab
Our lab is focused on the mechanisms underlying the multijoint control of movement and posture in able-bodied individuals and in individuals with neuromotor pathologies. Specifically, we are interested in understanding the relative contributions of intrinsic muscle properties, limb geometry and neural activation in the control of whole limb function.

Maggie is currently enrolled in the Medical Scientist Training Program within the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University. She is clinically interested in orthopedics and is pursuing her PhD in Biomedical Engineering. Her research interests are in the mechanics of the shoulder joint, specifically in the setting of shoulder arthritis. Maggie's goal is to explore the impact of both surgical interventions and rehabilitation in the setting of shoulder pathology.
