The
Sports
Medicine Research Laboratory
(SMRL) is devoted to the identification of risk factors and prevention of sports
related injuries, with emphasis on injuries to the head, knee, shoulder, and
ankle. Furthermore, the SMRL is dedicated to developing injury screening
and prevention strategies that are clinically applicable. To achieve these
goals the SMRL collaborates with the Department of Orthopaedics, School of
Public Health, Division of Allied Health Sciences, and the Injury Prevention
Research Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Since 1996, the SMRL has been
located in Fetzer Gymnasium within the Department of Exercise and Sports
Science. The 1700 sq.ft. facility is used by faculty, students, residents,
fellows, athletic trainers, and physical therapists to perform interdisciplinary
research aimed at achieving the laboratory's mission.
