Research Abstract
CLINICAL INTERESTS
Dr. Armstrong's clinical interests are in Shoulder and Sports Medicine. While his expertise covers all aspects of Sports Medicine, his primary clinical interests are of the shoulder and knee. He is experienced in arthroscopy of all major joints including the shoulder, knee, elbow and ankle. He has published papers and chapters on knee ligament biomechanics, shoulder injuries in athletes and knee stiffness and related injuries. During his fellowship, he served as a team physician for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Basketball Team. Additionally, he has an interest in the treatment of trauma and serves as team physician for UCI Teams.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Dr. Armstrong is currently conducting studies in knee ligament biomechanics and muscle force influence on knee ligament kinetics and in-situ forces. He is doing a clinical assessment of a signal transducer apparatus (flock of birds) in the setting of instability. He is also doing a study on outcome assessment and outcome data base collection in an athletic population using a new computer module for collection. He did a five-year clinical review and outcome assessment of ACL reconstruction in an indigent clinic setting. He also did a five year clinical review and outcome assessment of rotator cuff repair and subacromial decompression in an indigent clinic setting.
Dr. Armstrong's biomechanic research is conducted at the Long Beach Veteran's Administration.
