Biography

Professor Ziebart's current research program uses exercise to reduce the risk of fractures and rehabilitate fractures in people with osteoporosis, aiming to decrease the risk of developing osteoporosis. She focuses on identifying early signs of fragility fractures and implementing interventions to reduce the risk of debilitating fractures in the hip and spine. Her plans are oriented towards improving the quality and quantity of life for people living with osteoporosis. Additionally, she conducts research on falls prevention strategies, exploring community safety and knowledge translation strategies to increase exercise adherence among populations for improved bone health. Sex and gender considerations are cross-cutting themes within her research, given their significant impact on bone health, exercise behaviors, and osteoporosis outcomes.
