Career

Dr. Eggett earned his PhD from North Carolina State University (1983-1987) and has served as statistics resource faculty at Brigham Young University from 2002 through 2025.
Sixty-five of his 76 PubMed records carry the Brigham Young affiliation, a career of applied biostatistics in service of the university's research programs.
An 11-record service tail extends his statistical collaboration across Utah institutions and beyond, including Georgetown and the University of Illinois.

Research Work

Dr. Eggett serves as biostatistician across the research programs of others: a 76-record PubMed corpus, 2002-2025, dominated by Brigham Young affiliations and carrying a closed co-author web that includes Feland and Draper from this study's circle.
He is co-author of Study 11, a randomized trial in which shortwave diathermy combined with prolonged stretching increased hamstring flexibility (mean knee-extension increase 15.8 degrees) far more than prolonged stretching alone (5.2 degrees) or control (-0.3 degrees).

Role in Study 11

Co-author of Study 11, the study's statistician. See Study 11: Shortwave Diathermy and Prolonged Stretching Increase Hamstring Flexibility More Than Prolonged Stretching Alone (Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2004).
