About me

 

Clare E Milner PhD FACSM is an academic and researcher in rehabilitation sciences and an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences at Drexel University. Her research interests are in human movement during daily functional activities, and in fitness and leisure activities such as running. As an applied biomechanist, she also has research interests in the technical aspects of biomechanical measurement, such as the accuracy and precision of biomechanical tools and monitoring devices. 

 

Dr Milner directs research in the gait lab at Drexel University and supervises graduate students conducting human movement research.

 

She also shares her expertise in biomechanics and research methods by teaching courses in the PhD program in health and rehabilitation sciences, and the Doctor of physical therapy program in the College of Nursing and Health Professions at Drexel University.
