Stroke disrupts the descending control over motorneurons and interneurons in the spinal cord, resulting in impaired control of movement and balance. This project examines the changes in multi-segment reflexes during standing, as well as the reciprocal relationship between antagonistic ankle muscles – dorsiflexors and plantar flexors.
At the Balance and Falls Research Centre, we work to improve mobility, safety, and quality of life through research and innovation. Donations enable us to remain independent, continue long-term studies, and explore new ideas that prevent falls and enhance mobility.
Every contribution supports safer, healthier futures. If you’d like to help, we welcome your donation.
