A Sense of Balance - Sensorimotor Function in Reacting to Recover Balance
This course includes
Overview
Learning Objectives
In this online course, we will:
-
Understand common research paradigms for investigating sensory contributions to reactive balance control
-
Further an understanding of how visual, vestibular and somatosensory feedback regulate balance reactions based on recent research
-
Develop a basis for critically evaluating balance research
Speaker Bio
Dr. Zettel is a professor at the University of Guelph in the department of Human Health & Nutritional Science. His research in human movement control focuses on sensorimotor function in balance, including the coordination of balance reactions in recovering postural stability and avoiding falls.
