Dr. Hoglund’s research interests include investigation of conservative interventions for and factors related to painful conditions of the knee joints, with a focus on knee osteoarthritis and patellofemoral pain. Current research projects include studies investigating EMG muscle activation during strengthening exercises, biomechanical factors related to patellofemoral pain and knee osteoarthritis, and the uptake of clinical practice guidelines for knee osteoarthritis by healthcare practitioners.
