Cris Stickley is currently Chair of the Department of Kinesiology and Rehabilitation Science and director of the Biomechanics and Gait Laboratory at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. He previously served as the Associate Athletic Director for Sports Medicine at Northern Kentucky University. He is a member of the Athletic Trainers Osteoarthritis Consortium and the National Athletic Trainers Association. He serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Physiology at the John A Burns School of Medicine, where he teaches the graduate-level Anatomy course series and the musculoskeletal anatomy unit for first-year medical students.
Cris Stickley has been conducting research in lower extremity biomechanics and risks for injury and osteoarthritis as the director of the UH Biomechanics & Gait Laboratory since 2009. His main areas of research focuses on knee mechanics across the lifespan including the identification of gait related risks for lower extremity overuse injuries and lower extremity biomechanical changes resulting from osteoarthritis and total knee arthroplasty.
