About

The objective of the Locomotor Rehabilitation Lab is to determine why people fall (and why they don’t) with the goal of remediating balance impairment. We pursue this objective by: 1) developing novel clinical tests to predict both who is at risk for a fall as well as why they are at risk for a fall, and 2) identifying neuromechanical mechanisms of “better” balance. Clinically we focus on older adult and lower limb amputee populations.
