Jennifer Chambers, originally from Ireland, is a doctoral student working under the mentorship of Dr. Grant Norte in the CNS Laboratory. Jennifer earned her B.S. in Physical Education from Catawba College in North Carolina, and her M.S. in Kinesiology-Biomechanics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Jennifer’s research focuses on lower extremity injuries, particularly knee joint issues, such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries and their reconstruction. Jennifer is committed to advancing the understanding of effective rehabilitation strategies and protocols that enable athletes to return to their sports safely. Her work involves analyzing patients’ biomechanics and investigating the persistent neuromuscular deficits that remain post-treatment. Additionally, through her research and teaching, Jennifer aims to bridge the knowledge gap between strength and conditioning professionals and clinicians, with the objective of enhancing athlete recovery, optimizing their return to peak performance, and minimizing their risk of reinjury.
