Jaeho Jang

Jaeho Jang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), affiliated with the College of Health Sciences. His research focuses on biomechanics, particularly musculoskeletal modeling and simulation techniques to address chronic ankle instability (CAI). He investigates vibration-based interventions, ankle joint loading mechanics, and sensory integration strategies to improve mobility and reduce healthcare costs associated with CAI.

• Expertise: Biomechanical modeling, musculoskeletal injuries, posttraumatic osteoarthritis
• Key techniques: Motion capture, computational simulations, MRI analysis

Dr. Jang's work bridges clinical practice and research, emphasizing patient-centered care and evidence-based rehabilitation. His publications (2019–2025) explore gait biomechanics, sensorimotor adaptation, and predictive modeling of joint loading in CAI patients. His research has implications for developing targeted interventions and reducing the burden of chronic musculoskeletal disorders.

His research trends highlight a focus on: enhancing sensorimotor feedback mechanisms, evaluating novel therapeutic techniques like plantar massage, and applying advanced imaging (T1ρ MRI) to assess functional outcomes. Articles from 2023–2025 emphasize computational modeling and real-time interventions to mitigate ankle loading.
