Professor Troy’s work focuses on understanding how forces applied to the musculoskeletal system can influence bone and joint health, function, and injury in adult men and women in health and disease, using a combination of computational modeling, medical image analysis, cadaver mechanical testing, and living human subjects in a clinical research setting.
