Areas of Research
Integrative Physiology spans levels of biological organization from cellular mechanisms to motor behavior and human performance, and this research encompasses many of the body’s organ systems. Specific emphases include:
- Control of motor activity by the central nervous and musculoskeletal systems
- Cellular mechanisms of plasticity in muscular performance
- Fluid balance and exercise performance in thermally-challenged environments
- Approaches to rehabilitation that include prosthetic and orthotic devices as part of the treatment plan
This research is propelled by an enthusiastic faculty and by the natural synergies that arise from our common interests in motor systems, prosthetics and orthotics, and other areas of systems physiology.
