Biography

Bijan Najafi career has focused on developing technologies that improve stability, healing, and mobility worldwide through research and the mentorship of young scientists and engineers and collaboration with clinical partners. Early in his career at the Swiss Fed. Inst. of Tec, he developed a deep appreciation for the need to create better scientific methods to assess mobility out of gait laboratory and improve patients’ central role in enabling an optimized health care ecosystem. He had the opportunity to mentor 300+ postdoc, research fellows/interns, graduate, undergraduate, premed, and medical students.

Stance Quantified in Real World Scenario: Changes in Knee Joint Kinematic between Shod and Barefoot Running

Background: Barefoot running has been reported to cause favorable biomechanical changes during running. However, knee joint kinematics changes in stance phase during different running conditions in out of laboratory setup has not be explored. The aim of this study was to evaluate three dimensional changes in knee kinematics among habitual shod runn... Read More»
