My research aims to: (1) advance knowledge of the specific neuromechanical mechanisms by which humans maintain stability, and (2) understand why clinical populations, such as older adults and stroke survivors, experience challenges with stability control. The long-term goal of this research is to enable the development of targeted interventions and technologies to help individuals maintain or regain independent mobility and reduce the risk of falls.
