About
Dr. Glenn Garrison’s research lies at the intersection of biomechanics, orthopedics, and sports medicine, with a focus on understanding how foot structure and external devices influence injury risk. His most cited work, “Orthosis and Foot Structure Affect the Fifth Metatarsal Principal Strains During Simulated Level Walking” (2022), examines the mechanical factors behind proximal fifth metatarsal fractures—a common and challenging injury in elite athletes, often leading to delayed or nonunion. By simulating level walking, Garrison demonstrated how variations in foot anatomy and the use of orthoses alter principal strains on the bone, offering critical insights for fracture prevention strategies. Though his citation count is still building, this study has already informed clinical approaches to reducing stress fractures through targeted bracing and structural assessment. Garrison’s work bridges engineering principles with practical athletic care, making him a rising voice in lower-limb biomechanics. His research holds particular relevance for sports medicine practitioners and footwear designers seeking evidence-based interventions to protect athletes from debilitating injuries.
