Research

Our research aims to advance our understanding of the control and coordination of human movement through the application of dynamical systems theory.

We apply principles and techniques from complex and nonlinear dynamical systems to the study of posture and locomotion, with a focus on coordinative processes underlying expert performance as well those characteristic of decrements due to aging and neurodegenerative diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis
.

Our studies focus on the integration between intrinsic postural and gait dynamics and manual task demands commonly observed in many activities of daily living.
