Our research leverages wearable robotics to understand and assist human movement, with the goal of advancing our understanding of motor control in both healthy and clinical populations. By manipulating robotic behavior and sensory information during walking and other motor tasks, we explore how humans adapt to changing mechanical and sensory environments. These insights guide the development of targeted rehabilitation strategies and improve the design of assistive technologies for individuals with movement impairments.
Read more about our researchWe study how people generate, adapt, and stabilize gait under changing conditions. Our work spans three connected focus areas: understanding movement, advancing training for more effective and retained motor learning, and designing assistive devices for use with robotic therapies.
