Injury Analysis & Prevention Lab

Members

Nick Lyford, Graduate Student

Description

Researchers in the lab study injury mechanisms related to postural control during slip and fall.

Biomechanical, neurophysiological, electrophysiological, and epidemiological tools are used to develop a better understanding of mechanisms causing injury.
