RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests are linked to the biomechanics of health, exercise and sport:
- biomechanics of functional movement and activities of daily living in differing populations, with a focus on Parkinson’s disease
- use of biomechanically derived feedback and exercise interventions to improve musculoskeletal health and functional performance at everyday tasks
- using existing and developing novel technology, to assess biomechanics of movement in clinical and field-based settings
- 3-D modelling of human movement
- biomechanics of sports performance, especially football, and the application of biomechanics to the coaching / training environment
