About
Dr. Roula Kotsifaki is a leading researcher in sports biomechanics and orthopaedic rehabilitation, with a primary focus on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury assessment and recovery. Her work addresses critical limitations in current clinical practices, particularly the lack of reproducibility and quantification in traditional ACL evaluations. Dr. Kotsifaki’s major contribution is the rigorous validation of the DYNEELAX® robotic arthrometer, a device designed to provide precise, instrumented measurements of knee laxity. Her landmark 2024 study demonstrated the reliability and feasibility of this tool in both healthy individuals and those with ACL injury or reconstruction, offering a promising alternative to subjective clinical exams and static MRI scans. This work has already garnered attention, with 2 citations in its first year, signaling its growing impact on orthopaedic diagnostics. By advancing objective, reproducible assessment methods, Dr. Kotsifaki is helping to refine rehabilitation protocols and improve long-term outcomes for athletes and active patients. Her research bridges the gap between engineering innovation and clinical application, making her a key voice in the future of sports medicine.
