BIO
Dr. Dai is a professor and Chair of the Department of Rehabilitation and Movement Science. Dr. Dai teaches biomechanics classes in the Exercise Science program. Dr. Dai is interested in the mechanisms, risk factors, and prevention strategies for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, low back injuries, and falls through biomechanical evaluation of human motion, force, and muscle activities. Dr. Dai serves as an associate editor for Sports Biomechanics and Journal of Applied Biomechanics. He also contributes to the field through editorial positions with the Journal of Biomechanics, Research in Sports Medicine, and BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. Dr. Dai previously served as the Vice President of Research and Projects for the International Society of Biomechanics in Sports.
