My work aims to improve neurorehabilitation to help people with neurological conditions improve their walking and balance. I study how neurological conditions like stroke change the walking pattern and how this change may lead to other complications like joint pain and arthritis. My lab also develops and tests new interventions like gait training with visual feedback displays and adapted dance programs to help improve physical and psychosocial well-being.
