Areas of Interest
Short Description: Neuromuscular consequences of joint injury relating to arthrogenic muscle inhibition;
mechanisms of post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
Dr. Palmieri-Smith is a certified athletic trainer whose primary research interest is aimed at understanding the neuromuscular consequences of joint injury. More specifically, she is interested in understanding the functional limitations and biomechanical adaptations that occur as a result of arthrogenic muscle inhibition (AMI) as well as the involvement of neural networks in initiating AMI. Dr. Palmieri-Smith is also interested in the role of traumatic knee injury in the development of degenerative joint disease.
