Our current and on-going research includes:
- Basic science research in
the lab focusing on the impact of these injuries on the growth and development
of muscles, with investigation of medications to preserve muscle tissue and
prevent contractures.
- Clinical research with
focus on surgical outcomes, use of testing to help guide operative and
non-operative management, outcomes following Botox injections, and aspects of
therapeutic intervention.
