Our mission in the Comparative Neuromechanics Laboratory
is to develop and test unifying principles that describe the
control of
human locomotion. In particular, we use a comparative approach to answer
basic questions that can be applied across many different species. This
broad approach allows us to better distinguish fundamental mechanisms that
address the interaction between physics and physiology during movement.
We are also dedicated to translating our basic discoveries into practice
by providing solutions to advance modern rehabilitative therapies for gait
disabilities.
