Biography

Dr. Hsu’s interests are centered on gait and posture control in elderly people and individuals who have movement disorders. Dr. Hsu has been involved in a number of human movement research projects and formulated research studies based on clinical observations. Dr. Hsu’s team uses motion analysis to study joint and muscle coordination. The team also design rehab interventions for low back pain, rehabilitation strategies focused on trunk muscle function, and understanding factors that impact body composition and physical function in older adults
