My research aims to reduce the burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, injury and chronic disease in studies that:

  • Develop and test useful and valid measures of MSK symptoms and work role function.
  • Identify modifiable biologic, psychosocial and environmental risk factors; and test how these are mediated by sex/gender.
  • Test workplace, surgical and rehabilitation interventions that optimize ability and function.
  • Assess musculoskeletal health at a population level
  • Conduct knowledge translation research that guides efficient and effective implementation.
  • I conduct my work in collaboration with HULC researchers and clinicians, trainees and committed research teams that conduct national clinical trials, and research institutes comprised of high-quality researchers including IC/ES, The  Bone and Joint  Institute, and CIPSRT.
