Dr. Jaclyn Caccese
Dr. Jaclyn B. Caccese is an Assistant Professor in the School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and a member of Ohio State’s Chronic Brain Injury Program. She completed her BSE in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, and MS and PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science at the University of Delaware. Her research focuses on understanding the short and long-term effects of contact sports participation and sport-related concussion with the overarching goals to inform public policy regarding youth sports participation and to improve outcomes in current and former athletes.
Through her research, she aims to determine 1) changes in sensorimotor processing following concussion, 2) the relationship between age of first exposure to contact sports participation and clinical outcomes, and 3) interventions to prevent injury and to enhance recovery. Dr. Caccese has 31 peer-reviewed publications and has presented on these topics at regional, national, and international conferences.
