Our research focuses on developing and testing novel gait rehabilitation strategies to maximize walking function and gait quality in people with post-stroke hemiparesis. We seek to understand neuromechanics mechanisms causing gait dysfunction, and to design intervention approaches that are founded on an in-depth understanding of the neurobiological and biomechanical processes underlying gait training.
