Overview

The goal of the Mobility and Fall Prevention Research Laboratory (MFPRL) is to further the understanding of volitional control of compensatory postural responses and contribute to the existing body of fall prevention research in older adults. They use state-of-the-art motion capture, equipment for biomechanical measures, and non-invasive brain imaging to simultaneously record movements and brain activity during functional whole body movements.
