Profile

Dr. Tricia Hubbard Turner is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology.  Her research focuses on ankle instability and osteoarthritis. Chronic ankle instability occurs in approximately 70% of patients after an initial ankle sprain. Determining what causes the development of this instability and finding ways to prevent it has been one of her primary research focuses. Dr. Turner has examined the mechanical changes (ligament laxity, positional faults) that occur after an ankle sprain and how they contribute to chronic ankle instability and ankle osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, she has begun to use the animal model to look at how physical activity influences OA development, as well as the long term impact an ankle sprain may have on the body.  As a result, Dr. Turner’s research crosses multiple disciplines, including athletic training, biomechanics, exercise physiology, and rehabilitation sciences. Dr. Turner has published over 40 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters and presented her work at both national and international scientific meetings. Dr. Turner has received both internal (UNCC) and external funding (agencies) to help support her work.
