Sensory Integration in Rehabilitation Laboratory

Description

Sensory information, mostly from muscle proprioception, in balance and gait control.
Development of new rehabilitation interventions using sensory stimulation such as muscle vibration.
Current research topics: multiple vibrations that produce sensory activity usually associated with gait; balance perturbation during gait; rehabilitation dog.
Methods: 3D motion analysis, electromography, localized muscle vibration, split-belt treadmill.
