UNCG Virtual Environment for Assessment and Rehabilitation Laboratory

The mission of the Applied Neuromechanics Lab is to further understand Motor Behavior

As we navigate the environment, we must continually adapt our gait to avoid or accommodate obstacles such as stairs, other people or moving cars. After an injury, aging, or pathology, the ability to adapt gait to the environment is compromised, leading to an increased risk of falling and injury. The VEAR Lab is working on smartphone and virtual reality solutions to enhance the assessment and rehabilitation of patients who have difficulty with walking or balance.
