The Locomotor Learning Lab, founded in 2019, was established to integrate community involvement, screening, and research for the betterment of the people of the High Country. Dr. Skinner and his students are actively engaged in promoting healthy aging and independent lifestyles, in both geriatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
Gait Assessments
Gait Assessments
A gait assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of how you walk, including your posture, stride, and joint movement. Using advanced technology and expert analysis, we identify abnormalities or inefficiencies that may contribute to discomfort or increase your risk of injury.
