Phillip Gribble, Ph.D., ATC, FNATA, is a Professor and the Chair of the Department of Athletic Training and Clinical Nutrition, as well as the Program Director for the Graduate Certificate in Musculoskeletal Injury Management and associated post-professional Athletic Training Fellows program. He received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and his doctoral training at the Pennsylvania State University. His research interests have focused on understanding the neuromuscular consequences of ankle and knee injuries and developing intervention strategies to alleviate the health care burden from these injuries. Dr. Gribble has established an international reputation as an expert in the area of ankle instability and served previously as the Co-Director of the International Ankle Consortium (IAC). In his career, Dr. Gribble has over 165 published and/or in-press peer-reviewed manuscripts in scientific journals and has presented over 285 abstracts at international, national and regional scientific meetings. He has expertise in neuromuscular control laboratory measures, including postural control, motion analysis, strength, and corticospinal excitability; as well as clinical research outcomes using functional testing to improve injury prediction and prevention. Dr. Gribble has been awarded as a University of Kentucky Research Professor and the National Athletic Trainers' Association Foundation Medal for Distinguished Athletic Training Research. He is currently funded by the Department of Defense (DoD), the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the National Institute of Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) to study consequences and management of musculoskeletal injuries in tactical populations such as military and fire fighters.
