Goetschius’ research focuses on improving short and long-term outcomes for individuals with a history of knee (ex. ACL) and ankle (ex. sprains) joint injury, with a particular interest in better understanding and treating the chronic, negative effects that adolescent and young-adult sports injuries can have on an individual’s long-term physical function and health-related quality of life.
Goetschius earned a doctorate in kinesiology from the University of Virginia, a master’s degree in athletic training from the University of Virginia and a bachelor's degree in athletic training from the University of Vermont.
