Zong-Ming Li 李宗明
Professional Experiences
Before joining the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Li was an Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy as well as the Director of the Motor Function Laboratory at Walsh University in Ohio from 1998 to 2001. Prior to coming to the United States, he was a researcher at the Shanghai Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in Rui Jin Hospital from 1992 to 1995. Dr. Li earned his BSc in Engineering Mechanics from Southwest Jiaotong University and his MSc in Engineering Mechanics and Musculoskeletal Biomechanics from the Chengdu University of Science and Technology in China. He received his PhD in Kinesiology/Biomechanics in 1998 from The Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. Li has broad research interests in biomechanics and motor control of the neuromusculoskeletal system. His clinical research efforts focus on utilizing multidisciplinary approaches to study carpal tunnel syndrome. Current and prospective research areas include: neuromuscular control of the hand and fingers, hand motor function, finger joint stiffness, wrist kinematics and kinetics, carpal tunnel morphometry, carpal tunnel mechanics, and molecular mechanisms of the transverse carpal ligament and the tenosynovium.
