Sport and Ortho Clinic Update |
It has been a year of amazing growth for the SO Clinic. We now have two additional part time PT’s: Karen Jurjans, who was a previous UD sports resident and recently moved back to the area after working in DC, and Mandy Merritt, a UD undergraduate in athletic training and graduate from the DPT program, is now working full time between the athletic and physical therapy departments.
Our 2006 sports and orthopedic residents Kaja Kilburn and Mark Baughman graduated in December. We welcomed our new residents Sarah DoBroka for sports, and Megan Sions for orthopedics, in January 2007 and we will have two more residents starting a rotation this summer! Also, congrats go out to our very own Airelle Hunter-Giordano, who was profiled in PT Magazine, in an article on residency training. Our staff has been very productive over the past year, presenting at multiple local, national and international conferences.
Current clinical research projects in effort with Dr. Snyder-Mackler’s lab include assessing the benefit of Hyalgan Injections in the knee, perturbation training in the ACL deficient population who are non-copers, and collaboration with colleagues in Norway looking at the use of perturbation training in potential copers.
