Stephen Cobb

Stephen Cobb is an Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His research focuses on ankle and foot mechanics during gait, particularly in relation to lower extremity injuries and rehabilitation.

• PhD in Sport Science, Georgia State University, 2005
• MS in Sports Medicine, Georgia State University, 1999
• BA in Sports Medicine, Messiah College, 1994

Cobb investigates pathoetiological factors and abnormal gait mechanics linked to foot and ankle pathologies such as plantar heel pain, chronic instability, and foot pain in older adults. His work aims to identify modifiable factors for injury prevention and treatment.

Key publication trends include aging, injury rehabilitation, and kinematic analysis in clinical and sports contexts. Selected articles examine fall risk, running injury mechanics, and foot modeling.
