Trisha Scribbans, PhD

Biography

Dr. Trisha Scribbans’ research focuses on understanding the neuromuscular mechanisms that control of force production and movement of the upper extremity, with a particular emphasis on the role of scapular position and movement in shoulder and scapulothoracic mechanics/pathomechanics. She is also interested in identifying novel treatment/prevention strategies to reduce the incidence and duration chronic shoulder pathologies, individual responses to rehabilitative exercise strategies, and the development of anatomical and educational models for the improvement of manual skill acquisition in novice health care providers.

Research areas

  • Anatomical and physiological factors underlying motor variability/performance
  • Skeletal muscle and neurological adaptations to exercise training
  • Upper limb kinematics
  • Population differences in performance (sex, age, musculoskeletal disorders)
  • Validity and reliability of clinical tests/tools
  • Individual responses to exercise bouts and training
  • Rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders
