Center for Gait and Balance Research

The Center for Gait and Balance Research focuses on studying how people walk and maintain their balance. Researchers at this center investigate the physical, neurological, and environmental factors that influence mobility and stability in various populations, particularly older adults and those with movement disorders. By understanding these aspects, they aim to develop better treatments, design safer environments, and create effective strategies to prevent falls and enhance mobility. Their work combines clinical research, technology, and practical applications to improve quality of life for individuals experiencing gait and balance challenges.
