Biography
My research mission is to better understand the interplay between locomotor biomechanics and metabolic energy to improve mobility in individuals with neuromuscular impairments. Uncovering the factors that impact human gait patterns will enable researchers and clinicians to build better rehabilitation devices and improved personalized rehabiliation strategies by identifying features that contribute to increased metabolic cost, which clinicians can then target during an intervention. I use a combination of experimental and computational modeling techniques to investigate the factors that impact preferred walking patterns.
Ongoing research includes investigating the relationships between specific neuromuscular impairments after a stroke (e.g., hemiparesis or abnormal muscle coactivations) and gait deviations.
