On April 26, 2023, at 10 a.m., Prof. Stephen Perry, head of the Professorship of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the Wilfrid Laurier University Waterloo (Canada), will give a guest lecture in the lecture hall and seminar building (Room 2/NK003) at the Chemnitz University of Technology.
The lecture, titled "Neuromechanics of the Foot, Footwear, and Orthotics in Balance Control during Gait", will address the human walking apparatus, as well as prosthetics and footwear for balance support.
Prof. Perry is an internationally renowned researcher in the field of movement research. He is particularly interested in the human musculoskeletal system and the influence of sensory information from the environment on these aspects. He also investigates the effects of injuries or aging on gait behavior. He will incorporate findings from these areas into his lecture.
In cooperation with Dr. Andresa Germano, head of the Motor Control, Cognition & Neurophysiology department at the Institute of Human Movement Science and Health at the Chemnitz University of Technology, Prof. Perry is also involved in the research project "Ankle proprioception, balance control, gait, and functional neuroimaging using textured insoles in young and older people", funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
For further information, please contact Dr. Andresa Germano by phone at +49 371 531-38939 or by e-mail at andresa.germano@hsw.tu-chemnitz.de.
