RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Binder-Macleod's research interests center around
increasing our understanding of the relationship between the activation
pattern of skeletal muscle and the forces produced. Animal, human and mathematical
models are used. This work has cinical implication for improving
the use of electrical stimulation to activate skeletal muscles and problems
of fatigue and weakness in the elderly and disabled populations.
