Derived from inverted pendulum dynamics, mediolateral Margin of Stability (MoS ML ) is a
mechanically-grounded measure of instantaneous frontal-plane stability. However, average …

Gait variability is generally associated with falls, but specific connections remain disputed.
To reduce falls, we must first understand how older adults maintain lateral balance while …

Walking humans often navigate complex, varying walking paths. To reduce falls, we must first
determine how older adults purposefully vary their steps in contexts that challenge balance…

People walk in complex environments where they must adapt their steps to maintain balance
and satisfy changing task goals. How people do this is not well understood. We recently …

Background Daily walking paths exhibit varying environment features and require continuous
adjustments to locomotor trajectories. Humans maintain lateral balance while navigating …

Poisoning via organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents occurs when the OP binds and inhibits
the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). This enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of …

Background: Older adults have difficulty maintaining side-to-side balance while navigating
daily environments. Losing balance in such circumstances can lead to falls. We need to better …

Background Walking requires frequent maneuvers to navigate changing environments with
shifting goals. Humans accomplish maneuvers and simultaneously maintain balance …

Research Objectives To compare the ability of older adults with and without Parkinson's
Disease (PD) to modulate spatiotemporal features of gait using novel Rhythmic Movement …

Research Objectives To investigate the effects of Rhythmic Movement Sequences (RMS)
training on the ability of older adults with and without Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to …
