2011 research
My research uses biomechanical and clinical measures to evaluate postural stability and movement strategies during functional activities (sit-to-stand, stair descent and gait) in older adults. Specific interests include stability assessment during stair descent for individuals with functional limitations due to musculoskeletal pathology, and the comparison of movement strategies across age groups during sit-to-stand.
