Professor Kayla Fewster’s research program focuses on how exposure history and situational factors—such as sex, age, and obesity—interact to influence the risk of lumbar spine injury during sudden impact loading events. Her research emphasizes the role of passive spinal structures in low back injuries and explores modifiable factors that could reduce injury risk. The ultimate goal of her work is to develop innovative strategies for the prevention of low back injuries. Additionally, she has secondary research interests in lumbar spine stability, particularly regarding potential ways to reduce injury risk in high-performance sports. Undergraduate, MSc, and PhD students who are interested in these research areas are encouraged to contact her directly for training and research opportunities.
