Through my doctoral work, I have focused my research on pain related outcomes and predictors of long-term opioid use following total knee arthroplasty. Since then, I have expanded my research efforts to study a population I am very passionate about treating, those with pelvic health conditions. Physical therapy interventions for pelvic health conditions such as urinary incontinence is an emerging field with a limited and growing body of evidence studying examination procedures, interventions, and outcomes for this population. I aspire to further study the muscle activation patterns in this population in more functional positions that will be possible due to the technologic advancements using high density electromyography. Over the next five years, my aspiration is to actively engage in collaborations with esteemed rehabilitation researchers and pelvic health physical therapy clinical experts. My goal is to combine our collective knowledge and experience to advance clinical care and improve quality of life in individuals with urinary incontinence. By working closely with engineering and rehabilitation research experts, I hope to leverage their insights and expertise to explore new frontiers of knowledge using high-density electromyography technology to study additional female pelvic health populations with a variety of diagnoses. Together, we can address healthcare challenges and develop novel solutions to improve patient outcomes in females with urinary incontinence. These collaborative efforts will enrich my knowledge and contribute to a broader mission of advancing clinical care and outcomes for patients with stress urinary incontinence.
