We collaborate with:
Wake Forest University
Dr. DeVita collaborates with Dr. Stephen Messier and his colleagues at Wake Forest University to investigate biomechanical and physiological processes and outcomes in people with knee osteoarthritis. This work is currently supported by the NIH (R01AR052528-02 and R01AR059105-01, P.I. Messier). The grant titles are, “Intensive Dietary Restriction with Exercise in Arthritis (IDEA),” and, “Strength Training and Arthritis Trial (START).” Dr. DeVita’s role is to analyze knee joint forces during walking through a biomechanical model of the lower extremity and investigate whether these forces change through diet and exercise.

- Tibor Hortobagyi
Dr. Hortobagyi continues to collaborate with our lab group on several projects including investigating cross-education during a visio-motor task and the effects of plantarflexor strength training on old adults' gait biomechanics.
