Despite the extraordinary situation our labs have been placed in due to the pandemic, we’ve been adjusting our research schedules to work with students remotely. Given the nature of the current semester, we are doing our best to support our students during this difficult time while forging ahead with work in the Sports Injury Lab and the Cartilage Research Lab led by Dr. Brett Owens.
Read more from the Brown Daily Herald about how Covid-19 has impacted our lab and other labs on Brown’s campus and how we’re dealing with this unique time. Please see the full article here.
Dr. Owens appeared on GoLocalProv LIVE “Smart Health” to offer advice to athletes during Covid19.
“These are unprecedented times and you know sports certainly has taken a back burner at every level — of course, the professional athletes get the most attention but college sports has been a huge hit,” said Owens. “For injured athletes, it does make things a little bit easier in my office. When I’m working with athletes that are recovering from knee or should surgery, there’s very much always that sense of fear of missing out — and that’s not there,” said Owens. “But there’s certainly a lot of missing out to go around. Athletes want to be able to be back in full performance and I think potentially using this time to really refocus their rehab efforts is helpful, but for all athletes, it’s extremely frustrating.”
