Inae Gadotti

Inae Gadotti is a **Tenured Associate Professor** in the Department of Physical Therapy at **Florida International University (FIU)**, affiliated with the College of Nursing and Health Sciences. Her work focuses on musculoskeletal rehabilitation, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), neck pain, and ergonomic interventions. She holds an office at MMC-AHC 3, Room 427, and can be reached at igadotti@fiu.edu.

Research interests include the interplay between craniofacial and cervical musculoskeletal systems, particularly in populations with TMD, chronic pain, or ergonomic risks. She has pioneered studies on posture assessment, electromyography (EMG) of masticatory and neck muscles, and the impact of intubation practices on TMJ health. Gadotti’s work often involves cross-disciplinary collaborations with anesthesiologists, dental professionals, and occupational therapists.

Her recent publications (2020–2025) highlight trends in: 1) TMD prevalence in musicians and office workers, 2) posture-related neck pain in students during remote learning, and 3) device innovation for tongue force measurement. Articles consistently emphasize clinical translation of biomechanical findings.

Gadotti has contributed to international consensus-building on TMD assessment protocols via Delphi studies. Her research extends to ergonomic solutions like optimized school backpack designs and telework posture interventions. Despite no listed awards, her extensive publication record indicates sustained academic impact.

She actively investigates craniocervical dysfunction mechanisms and collaborates with FIU’s **Diane Ramy Faulconer STAR Center** for advanced rehabilitation research. No grants or student advisees are explicitly mentioned in available texts.
