Gait and postural control

A healthy gait and stable posture are essential for independence, confidence, and avoiding falls. However, it is still poorly understood how ageing and disease disrupt the sensory–motor systems that support safe movement.

Research

Our research aims to uncover how the sensory–motor processes that support human locomotion are influenced by ageing and disease.

We will then apply this knowledge to drive new diagnostic tools, technologies, and rehabilitation approaches to improve mobility and prevent falls in vulnerable individuals.

Gaining this understanding will help us find better ways to keep people moving confidently and safely throughout life.
