My research focuses on musculoskeletal and disability research. My research activities have produced 32 publications in both national and international learned journals. I have presented five papers in international conferences and seven papers in national conferences.

In collaboration with other researchers, I have established pattern of tibio-femoral angle in a cohort of Nigerian children during the first three years of life and provided reference values for children and adolescents. I have also provided influence of body position and anthropometrics on tibio-femoral angle. I have provided prevalence of musculoskeletal pain in some occupation groups. My research has led to generating age-reference values of body mass and physical fitness indices. Pattern of physical activity among Nigerian diabetics and its influence on quality of life was provided through my research. Also, I have established pattern of disability among Nigerian stroke survivors and its predictors.
