Research Description:
Elucidation of the mechanisms underlying postural control during stance
and gait under different sensory conditions. How neurologic disorders such
as Parkinson's disease affect postural control.
Current Investigations:
• Effect of deep brain stimulation on postural control.
• Age-related changes in gait control.
• Gait control in the presence of cognitive distractions.
