About the speaker:  Kyle Kosik is a Post-Doctoral Scholar at the University of Kentucky, where he recently graduated from the Rehabilitation Science Doctoral program. Dr. Kosik has authored or co-authored 8 peer-reviewed publications in the area of chronic ankle instability (CAI). His primary research interest is on understanding the origins of neuromuscular dysfunction and biomechanical adaptions following a lower extremity joint injury, with particular emphasis on CAI. His current research focuses on quantifying the sensorimotor and mechanical alterations that persists across the lifespan in patients with CAI.
