    Collapse overview
    Dr. Roll’s research strives to advance the understanding of worker health and well-being through a holistic approach, to effectively evaluate and provide prevention or rehabilitation interventions within the adult population. His research focus includes:

    1. Investigating, measuring, and intervening to optimize interactions among environments (built, organizational, social) and occupational performance (e.g., praxis, engagement, productivity) to support the health and well-being of workers

    2. Understanding how individual behaviors, physical exposures, stress, psychosocial factors, and personality traits relate to the development of musculoskeletal disorders or other work-related injuries, and how each factor mitigates or promotes successful prevention (e.g., ergonomics) and rehabilitation (e.g., hand therapy) efforts

    3. Advancing the use of sonographic imaging for the evaluation, prevention, and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with a primary focus on the upper extremities
