Dr. Stephanie Cone is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Delaware. Her STAR Campus office is located at 540 S. College Avenue, Ste 201K, Newark, DE. She holds a PhD from North Carolina State University/UNC Chapel Hill and a BS from the University of Arkansas. Her research focuses on musculoskeletal biomechanics and neuroengineering, particularly tendon/ligament structure-function relationships across growth stages and injury conditions.
Dr. Cone’s work integrates computational modeling with experimental approaches using animal and human subjects. Her research aims to develop age-specific orthopaedic interventions for pediatric knee/ankle injuries, including surgical planning and post-operative assessment strategies. Key methodologies include high-field MRI, biomechanical testing, and advanced sensor technologies like ultrasound-tensiometry.
Her research has explored sex-dependent ACL mechanics in porcine models, tendon wave speed estimation via Kalman filters, and 3D Achilles tendon characterization. Current work emphasizes translating preclinical findings into clinical practices through novel diagnostic tools and rehabilitation protocols.
Laboratory and collaboration details can be found on her lab website. Recent innovations include a single-sensor method for tendon phase velocity tracking and a scoping review of neuromuscular stimulation for tendon loading.
