This research investigates the safety of targeted synthetic DMARDs during pregnancy in people with autoimmune joint diseases. Using 20 years of population-level health data, it identifies increased risk of low birth weight associated with prenatal exposure. The findings aim to inform clinical guidance and empower patients to make safer, evidence-based decisions about pregnancy.

This research develops an objective, data-driven approach to return-to-sport decisions after pediatric knee surgery. Using motion capture and advanced data analysis, it identifies hidden movement patterns linked to re-injury risk. The goal is to improve clinical decision-making, reduce repeat injuries, and make injury prevention more accessible beyond specialist clinics.

This research explores motor imagery as a rehabilitation tool after stroke. Brain imaging revealed sex-based differences in neural activation, with females showing greater efficiency. Practice improves patterns in both sexes. Understanding these differences enables personalized, home-based rehabilitation that may enhance recovery of arm and hand function.

This research examines how “sitting is the new smoking” headlines affect people with spinal cord injury. Interviews revealed these messages are harmful and exclusionary. Reframing sedentary behavior as low energy expenditure, rather than sitting itself, improves understanding. The work promotes inclusive, evidence-based public health communication.
