Get to know Siena Charlee Senatore, MS, ABD
Siena is a Biomechanist with experience in clinical and athletic populations. Her research experience includes studying the influence of exoskeletons and prosthetics on clinical gait, where she helped develop a human-in-the-loop optimization algorithm to improve prosthetic fit. Siena has also worked in a pitching and golf biomechanics lab and in collegiate sports settings, assisting with data collection and processing to support athlete development. Currently, she is researching movement coordination, coordination variability, and skill development, with a particular focus on their implications for ACL injury risk. Her work blends research, applied sport science, and hands-on analysis to better understand how movement strategies influence performance and long-term athlete health.
Personal Statement
I am driven by a passion for understanding how people move, adapt, and interact with technology and devices in both clinical and athletic environments. My work focuses on movement coordination, skill development, and how properly designed interventions can enhance performance and reduce injury risk. I believe that teaching athletes to use their bodies effectively, based on their preferred movement patterns, is central to optimizing performance and long-term health. I am committed to translating scientific insights into practical, human-centered solutions that benefit athletes, clinicians, and everyday individuals.
