Researchers within the Balance and Falls Research Centre study the mechanistic principles of healthy balance control and origins of balance deficits and falls.
This research is crucial for developing new tools, therapeutic interventions and technologies to reduce the likelihood and impact of balance instability and falls.

We are very pleased to announce that the former OBDAF Research Cluster has now been formally approved to become the new "UBC Balance and Falls Research Centre"
This is an opportunity for OBDAF members to experience a special hands-on VR workshop with WorldViz experts in Santa Barbara July 17-21 in conjunction with BIOPAC’s 4T|Phys Human Physiology Conference. This workshop is for you if you are interested in getting started with or learning more about…
Congratulations to cluster researchers Dr. Brain Dalton and Dr. Vicki Komisar and their trainees, who were recently featured in a UBC News article for their research work on human balance and falls. Drs. Dalton and Komisar have ongoing collaborations to understand balance and falls from different research lenses, including biomechanics, motor control, and gerontology.
The UBC Point Grey campus is situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm.
