Personal profile
Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding the principles governing neuromechanical control of human locomotion and applying this knowledge to promote walking recovery following neurological injury. I employ an interdisciplinary experimental approach using robotic tools to examine whole-body human movement from a biomechanics and motor control perspective. I also do research on bone health following spinal cord injury with an emphasis on the role of mechanical loading on the prevention and treatment of bone loss.
