Research Areas

Our team has developed one of the most comprehensive collections of cutting-edge balance measurement tools and techniques. Few other research groups have the capacity and expertise to study balance from the single-motor unit and primary sensory afferent level, all the way to whole-body postural responses, and measure all aspects of human balance control. Our research is focused on the following 5 areas:

1.Neuro-Degenerative

2. Psycho-Social

3. Traumatic Injury

4. Musculo-Skeletal

5. Sensori-Motor
