Staff Profile

I manage the Gait Laboratory within the Clinical Ageing Research Unit. We undertake a variety of studies (feasibility, observational, longitudinal, C-TIMPS and RCTs) with a range of patient groups (neurodegenerative, neuromuscular and genetic conditions). We have significant expertise in the design and development of novel protocols, managing and delivering complex clinical trials, database curation and implementing data analytics.

• Clinical gait analysis in healthy and patient groups
• Sensorimotor control of locomotion in neurodegenerative disorders
• Development of interventions to optimise locomotor safety in people at risk of trips and falls
