Prospective Analysis of Biomechanical Changes in Gait and Posture Following Decompressive Laminectomy for Symptomatic Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Symptomatic lumbar spinal stenosis (SLSS) is the leading cause of pain and mobility limitation in older adults and the most frequent indication for spinal...

Patients treated with radiation therapy for metastatic disease of the spine suffer high risk for pathologic spinal fractures (PVF) – up to 39% sustaining a fracture within 6 months. Clinical guidelines for estimating fracture risk remain subjective, and improved, individualized prediction of PVF...

Josephine Taylor Josephine served as a co-op student while pursuing a B.S. on Bioengineering at Northeastern University, and remains involved part-time in the lab. Her work has focused on developing machine-learning-based video approaches for evaluation of spine motion with OpenCap.

Personalized Computational Modeling to Support Effective Use of Back Support Exosuits to Prevent Back Injuries Musculoskeletal back injuries are a major burden on society. However, exosuits may be able to help protect against some lifting injuries. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate how...

Trunk neuromuscular control – the ability to accurately and precisely move the spine – may be an important factor underlying balance and physical function. While this control is impaired in patients with back pain, it has not been studied in relation to balance or physical function in older people...
