Research

Dr. Delzell is currently working collaboratively with colleagues in multiple areas, including:

Pediatric Research in Sports Medicine (PRiSM) Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Research Interest Group

The aim of this PRiSM group is to develop research that incorporates multiple disciplines, with the central goal of moving forward research surrounding musculoskeletal ultrasound, specifically geared toward the pediatric athlete. The ultrasound research interest group includes 11 researchers from eight locations, including Boston Children’s Hospital, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of California San Diego and The Ohio State University. The group represents five different subspecialties and is currently researching:

  • Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) normative ultrasound parameters and diagnostic ultrasound criteria for injury of the ligament in patellar dislocation patients.
  • Longitudinal ultrasound of commonly injured upper and lower extremity tendons in the high school/collegiate athlete: Predictors of future injury in the pre-participation exam.
  • Ultrasound evaluation of the rectus femoris and iliopsoas tendon at the hip: Defining the anatomy.

Akron Children’s Sports Medicine Group

Dr. Delzell is collaborating with the Akron Children’s Sports Medicine group to evaluate treatment protocols for functional popliteal artery entrapment.

Terminology Task Force

Dr. Delzell is part of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine and the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine task force for creating a consensus paper for musculoskeletal ultrasound diagnostic and therapeutic terminology.
