Sarah Greising, Ph.D., assistant professor in the School of Kinesiology, has a featured post on the CEHD Vision 2020 Blog.

“A Focus on Early Interventions in Skeletal Muscle Regeneration” describes the challenges that major traumatic injuries present in the healing of muscle tissue. While injuries caused by circumstances such as overexertion can normally heal without much intervention, in very large injuries, such as those incurred in combat, the muscle is unable to regenerate on its own, and poor muscle function and even amputation can result. Through her research, Greising is exploring new rehabilitation techniques that can provide better outcomes in major skeletal muscle injuries.
