Dr. Grabowski’s primary research interests lie within the fields of human physiology, biomechanics, and mechatronics. Her research characterizes walking, running, hopping, bicycling, sprinting, and jumping, and investigates the physiological and biomechanical effects of implementing devices such as prostheses, orthoses, exoskeletons, weight support systems, and sports equipment on people with and without physical impairments such as leg amputation.
