We are a biomedical engineering research group dedicated to improving our understanding of the biomechanics of human movement, with specific focus on the prevention of injuries and enhancement of mobility. Our multi-disciplinary research group includes graduate students and post-doctoral researchers in Engineering, Kinesiology, and Health Sciences. Current research projects are in four areas:

 

Experimental neuromechanics

 

Mathematical modeling

 

Injury prevention

 

Gerontechnology
