Agility is the ability to make rapid, purposeful and controlled transitions between movement patterns.
Agility, a fundamental walking skill, is often compromised following neurological impairment.
Our research aims to understand the neuromechanical basis of human locomotor agility and to apply this knowledge to advance gait rehabilitation. Specifically, we are working to:
1) Improve the characterization and assessment of locomotor Stability and Maneuverability.
2) Develop novel interventions to optimize Human Agility
