Principal Investigator: Greg Lervick, M.D.
Funding: None
Purpose: To determine the efficacy anf long-term functional outcome of using a single row suture for rotator cuff repair.
Stage: Composing IRB application.

Research Title: Shoulder-specific Exercises to Improve External Rotator Strength
Principal Investigator: Michael Dixey, P.T.
Funding: None
Purpose: To explore how four shoulder-specific exercises improve external rotator strength.
Stage: IRB-approved. Recruiting patients.

Research Title: Hip Muscle Weakness in Recreational Runners with Chronic Achilles Tendinopathy
Principal Investigator: Maria Kronk, M.P.T.
Funding: None
Purpose: To explore the relationship of ipsilateral hip muscle weakness in recreational runners with Achilles tendinopathy.

Research Title: An Assessment of High Dose Gamme Irradiated Allografts in Patients with ACL Reconstruction
Principal Investigators: Christopher Larson, M.D.; Co-PI: J. Patrick Smith, M.D.
Funding: Clearant
Purpose: To prospectively assess ACL surgical reconstruction using Clearant Process treated commercially available irradiated allografts in patients with an ACL injury to evaluate critical functional outcomes (i.e., range of motion, passive motion deficit, effusion, etc.).
Stage: IRB-approved. Recruiting patients.
