Title: Efficacy of Balance Training with Visual Occlusions. Walking requires integration of sensory information, computational processing, and motor output response (referred hereafter as the neuromechanical components). Deficits in any of these neuromechanical components with aging can increase fall risk. To combat aging effects on mobility and reduce fall risk, researchers…
Translational Research in Aging and Mobility Postdoctoral Training Program The TRAM program is committed to a culture that is supportive and respectful to all. We believe that scientists from various backgrounds, including those with disabilities, will enhance scientific inquiry to holistically meet our challenge of preserving mobility over the lifespan.
Meet our current and previous researchers in the fellowship program of Translational Aging and Mobility (TRAM). Funding for this post-doctoral program comes from a grant for training, category 32 (T32), awarded to the University of Florida from the National Institutes of Health’s Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards. …
The University of Florida boasts an interactive and productive mobility and aging research community. The training faculty for the TRAM Program are grouped into two primary clusters, based on research focus and expertise: 1) the Aging Research Cluster; and 2) the Mobility Research Cluster. Faculty are then grouped into six…
