She uses a variety of methods to examine how children and adults modify their walking patterns to navigate through the environment: three-dimensional motion capture, computerized video coding, wearable motion sensor technology, portable spatio-temporal gait systems, and digital pressure mats. She is particularly interested in understanding how childhood and adult obesity affect the ability to adapt to change.<\/p>\n<p abp=\"1812\">Her long-term goals are to:<\/p>\n<ul abp=\"1814\">\n<li abp=\"1815\">develop novel systems approaches to optimize health outcomes in early childhood;<\/li>\n<li abp=\"1816\">design innovative interventions that minimize fall risks associated with childhood and adult obesity; and<\/li>\n<li abp=\"1817\">create new methods to detect fall risks linked with childhood and adult obesity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p abp=\"1811\">She is a member of the American Occupational Therapy Association, the Obesity Society, the Society for Research in Child Development, the International Society of Developmental Psychobiology, and the American Diabetes Association.<\/p>\n<p>Lab Webpage:<span>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bu.edu\/motordevlab\/\" target=\"_blank\">Motor Development Laboratory<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13808,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13808"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":398,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/123\/revisions\/398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/neuroimaging\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
