Kaitlin Gallagher PhD

Dr. Gallagher is currently researching the influence of occupational work on spinal injuries. The switch towards standing work, sit-stand desks, and mobile computing is an exciting time in changing the current workplace setup; however, there are still many unknown injury risks that can result from these changes. She uses biomechanical data collection techniques (3-D motion capture, electromyography, and force platforms) to assess people's posture, muscle activity, and movement as a result of these new workplace setups.
