Cristine Agresta, PT, MPT, PhD
Director<\/em><\/h2>\n

I’m an Assistant Professor in the UW Department of Rehabilitation Medicine<\/a> and am the Program Coordinator for the UW Sports Physical Therapy Residency Program<\/a>. In addition to UW, I hold an Affiliate Faculty position in the Department of Kinesiology at Seattle University<\/a>. Prior to UW, I co-directed the Michigan Performance Research Laboratory at the University of Michigan. I research how to enhance decision-making about athlete readiness, equipment design, training, rehabilitation, and return-to-play through better assessment and monitoring methods. I work with companies, sports organizations, athletic medicine teams, and engineers to conduct translational research. My specialties include clinical assessment, biomechanical movement analysis, physical demands assessment, human interaction with footwear, and employing human performance field measures, including wearable sensors.<\/p>\n
