Bruce Beynnon, Ph.D., (Director of Research, Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, Associate Professor of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation, University of Vermont) During the past 10 years, Dr. Beynnon has been involved with studies focused on the biomechanical behavior of the knee, anterior cruciate ligament, and anterior cruciate graft. A significant portion of this effort has focused on the development of devices and techniques to measure the strain behavior of normal anterior cruciate ligaments and anterior cruciate ligament grafts in human subjects. This has resulted in the development of objective data used to improve surgical procedures and rehabilitation programs during ACL graft healing. In addition, Dr Beynnon has focused on neuromuscular studies of the normal knee, the anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee, and knees undergoing anterior cruciate reconstruction and rehabilitation, and is currently directing clinical trials focused on rehabilitation of subjects that have undergone an ACL reconstruction. |
