Pillars of Interdisciplinary Research Excellence
Enhancing Biological and Physical Function in Later Life
Education
PhD University of Waterloo Kinesiology 1999
Research Interests
Age and mobility: to understand how disease or aging may lead to degeneration in the balance control system. The interaction of the neural and mechanical systems is considered.
Teaching Interests
Pathological and Aging Considerations for Gait, Posture, and Balance; Biomechanics of Human Motion; Biomechanical Foundations of Motor Skills; Balance Rehabilitation in Older Adults
