Department of Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Science Grand Rounds

The Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science hosts bimonthly Grand Rounds that is open to all clinicians and researchers interested in the topic of rehabilitation. Presentations are held every other month from 7am to 8am via zoom (registration is not required.)

Tuesday, October 14, 2025 7-8am PST

Dr. Jeannie Bailey, PhD

Exploring the importance of biomechanical recovery following orthopaedic intervention and how pre-intervention muscle quality made impede successful long-term outcomes

For our next session, we have invited Jeannie Bailey, PhD, who will discuss her work on capturing and quantifying full-body markerless motion to better understand patient-specific biomechanical impairment for diagnostic purposes and tracking response to treatment. She will also dive into her work on how muscle quality might be predictive of biomechanical recovery and long-term symptom outcomes following:  1) long-term spaceflight, 2) total hip arthroplasty, and 3) minimally invasive treatments for chronic low back pain.

Dr. Jeannie Bailey, PhD has an interdisciplinary research program in Orthopaedic Surgery at UCSF focused on better understanding orthopaedic health outcomes through the lens of biomechanical function, muscle health, and experienced pain. Dr. Bailey received her bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and her master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Washington. She performed post-doctorate research at UCSF in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and became faculty in 2019. As part of the Musculoskeletal Research Consortium (METRiCS), she is actively developing, testing, and deploying precision-based digital health technology to enhance both clinician and patient engagement in treatment and recovery. She is jointly appointed within the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Sciences.

This session will be recorded and uploaded here. Session Moderated by Rich Souza & Cathy Hoang (meeting ID: 943 2594 3635; passcode: 679151). join us via zoom here!
