Understanding how balance is maintained to inform rehabilitation
The Motor Control Lab studies how people maintain body balance (postural control).
Its main theme is clarifying how aging and motor impairment affect postural control.
The lab investigates how balance is maintained by combining sensory and motor signals. Its long-term goal is to develop rehabilitation that improves balance and gait in people with motor impairment.
Key terms
