We are delighted to extend our congratulations to Dr. Angelica Lang on being awarded the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) project grant. Her project, "Shoulder Dysfunction and Breast Cancer Treatment: Biomechanical Analysis of the Impact of Reconstruction and Mastectomy," seeksto better understand how different breast cancer treatments and surgeries, including breast reconstruction, affect upper limb biomechanics and function. The research aims to explore how these procedures are related to secondary musculoskeletal injuries.
Research team: Dr. Angelica Lang (PI), Dr. Soo Kim, Dr. Tracey Carr, Dr. Gary Groot, and Dr. John Barden (URegina)
