Li Li
|
Dr. Li's long-term research goal is to incorporate the knowledge gained through the study of different human activities into models of the neuromuscular system to better understand the control strategies of human neuromuscular system. These understandings will be applied to populations with different diseases in the application of diagnosis and rehabilitation.
RESEARCH:
- Gait and Balance of patients with Peripheral Neuropathy
- The dynamics and neuromuscular control of human gait transition
- Locomotion stability and variability with different age groups
Dr. Li is part of the Motor Behavior concentration: http://mb.lsu.edu
