Dr. Anne Silverman

Degrees: PhD and MSE in Mechanical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin BSE Mechanical Engineering, Arizona State University Curriculum Vitae Current and future projects My research focuses on the analysis of human movement with an emphasis on identifying muscle compensation strategies in pathological populations.  I also seek to understand the biomechanical consequences of using specific muscle compensations, and use this understanding to provide a quantitative basis for developing effective rehabilitation training programs.
