Portable audiovisual biofeedback system to improve weight bearing during walking
This project aims to develop and test a portable system that provides audio and visual feedback of weight bearing information during locomotion. This system has the potential to improve weight bearing in individuals post-stroke.
Frontal-plane biomechanical model to predict weight bearing during walking
This project aims to develop a mathematical model using frontal plan biomechanical variables to predict weight bearing during gait. Success development of this model will allow us to understand how individuals modulate these biomechanical factors to change weight bearing and how impairments in frontal plane movements may affect weight bearing during walking in clinical populations such as older adults and individuals post-stroke
