Matthew S. Briggs works in physical therapy and rehabilitation research, focusing on musculoskeletal pain conditions such as patellofemoral (knee) pain, fibromyalgia, low back pain, and shoulder pain, and how factors like fear of movement (kinesiophobia) and joint hypermobility affect function and treatment outcomes. His work also spans clinical education topics, including how postprofessional training and residency programs affect physical therapists' skills and productivity, as well as broader questions about measuring value in rehabilitation care.
