The mission of the Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuromusculoskeletal Research exists to promote and support neuromusculoskeletal research across disciplines at Ohio University. This research bears on the functions, maintenance, and dysfunction of these systems, on their relation to overall human health, and on related educational issues.

INSTITUTE DIVISIONS:

Applied and Translational Research: The IINR facilitates projects in many areas of neuromusculoskeletal biology and medicine: the skeleton, muscles, nerves, connective tissues such as tendon and ligament, cartilage surfaces of joints and the intervertebral discs of the spine. The IINR supports research aimed at improving the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and injuries of the neuromusculoskeletal system and its component tissues.

Education: The educational goals of the Institute are to improve training of undergraduate, graduate, medical students, scientists and health care providers by developing a transdisciplinary model of training that exposes individuals to a broad scope of disciplines, such as engineering, physiology, anatomy, medicine and psychology, which collectively contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the integrative neuromuscular system.
