Dustin Grooms speaking at conference
OrthoNeuroscience Consulting
Train the brain. Rebuild the athlete.
  • Speaking & consulting for pro teams, clinics, hospitals, and sports medicine or performance institutes
  • Translating neuroscience and biomechanics into better rehabilitation and return‑to‑sport decisions.
Professor, Physical Therapy (Ohio University) • Director, Neuroimaging Research Laboratory • Associate Director, Ohio Musculoskeletal & Neurological Institute (OMNI)
What I do

Speaking + CEU education

Keynotes, workshops, and CEU labs on orthopedic injury neuroplasticity, sensorimotor control, and neurocognitive factors that change movement decisions.

Return‑to‑sport system redesign

Audit → redesign → staff alignment for testing workflows, progressions, thresholds, and decision conversations across the performance/medical team.

Industry + technology consulting

Measurement strategy, validation planning, and translation of complex signals into usable clinical/field workflows.

Signature themes

  • Neuroplasticity after orthopedic injury: why the “software” matters as much as the hardware.
  • Return‑to‑sport as a decision system: integrating physical and neurocognitive readiness.
  • Training under real constraints: cognitive load, sensory reweighting, VR/AR, enriched rehab.

Best fit audiences

  • Professional and collegiate performance/medical teams
  • Sports medicine + orthopedic rehab clinics
  • Hospital systems building consistent RTS pathways
  • Industry teams developing/validating rehab technologies
Build a return‑to‑sport process your whole team trusts.
Tell me your setting and constraints. I’ll propose a practical talk or consulting scope that fits your workflow.
