Research

The UMILL uses a comprehensive approach to study human locomotion, integrating neurophysiology, biomechanics and energetics.

Our work covers the full health spectrum, from the neuromechanics of split-belt walking in individuals with neurological disease and older individuals prone to falling to the biomechanics and energetics of elite marathon runners.

We focus specifically on how surface and footwear properties can be used and optimized to improve gait rehabilitation and sports performance.
