Research and Interests
Collectively, my research aims to advance understanding of the neuromechanical mechanisms underlying balance dysfunction and translate that knowledge into clinical practice. My current research centers on A) novel treatments, and their impact on balance, for symptoms in acute and chronic (post-concussion syndrome) mild traumatic brain injury, and B) identifying neuromechanical control strategies contributing to reactive balance performance in different populations.
