Lab Introduction

The Neuromechanics and Rehabilitation Laboratory aims to enhance neuromuscular function and support exercise rehabilitation by applying neuromechanical techniques. The lab focuses on investigating neural and biomechanical mechanisms in individuals affected by neurological disorders such as aging-related decline, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and ataxia.

Main Research

- Investigating the effectiveness of neuromechanical techniques on health and motor function enhancement using meta-analytic methods, and exploring exercise effects in aging and neurological disorders
- Developing optimized training protocols to improve human coordination control using non-invasive brain stimulation
- Designing rehabilitation protocols incorporating Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) to prevent age-related muscle degeneration
