Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Marci A Goolsby"
- Marci A Goolsby's research predominantly focuses on the assessment, prevention, and treatment of bone stress injuries (BSIs) in athletes, particularly female athletes, as evidenced by multiple articles addressing the implications of hormonal factors and vitamin D levels on recovery and overall bone health.
- Recent findings demonstrate that serial ultrasonography can effectively monitor the healing process of lower extremity BSIs, potentially enhancing clinical decision-making regarding an athlete's return to sport or exercise.
- Goolsby's work also explores the relationships between physical activity levels during BSI recovery and symptom relief, as well as the impact of menstrual irregularity and hormonal contraceptive use on injury susceptibility in collegiate female athletes, indicating a need for more targeted preventive strategies.
