Overview
I am a Senior Lecturer and lead the Neuromechanics Research Group within the School of Healthcare Sciences, comprising four PhD students and two postdoctoral researchers. I am also Interim Lead for the Research Centre for Clinical Kinesiology, our state-of-the-art human movement analysis laboratory.
My research investigates the neural control of human movement, particularly balance and walking. I am interested in how sensory and cognitive processes interact to shape motor output, and how movement control changes when people are challenged by instability, pain, fatigue, anxiety or neurological disease.
I use experimental human neuroscience and biomechanical approaches, including transcranial magnetic stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, electromyography, EEG and three-dimensional motion analysis. My current work includes research into freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease, neural responses to balance challenges, fatigue in long-term conditions, and human responses to movement in tall buildings.

Other
Research
Neuromechanics Research Group
I lead the Neuromechanics Research Group within the School of Healthcare Sciences. Our research uses experimental human neuroscience and biomechanics to understand the neural control of movement in health and disease. The group currently includes four PhD researchers and two postdoctoral researchers, Dr Louisa Gwynne and Dr Bethan Thomas.
Neural control of movement
My research investigates how sensory and cognitive processes interact to shape motor output across descending and spinal pathways. A particular focus is balance and walking, including how the nervous system prepares for and responds to instability, perturbations and other challenges to movement.
I use techniques including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), peripheral nerve stimulation, electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), three-dimensional motion capture and instrumented gait and balance analysis. I have worked with industry to develop an integrated system that allows TMS to be delivered during movements such as walking, within our instrumented split-belt treadmill and virtual-reality environment. You can see the system in this 3-minute video.
Parkinson’s disease and freezing of gait
A major focus of my current research is freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. I lead a Parkinson’s UK-funded project investigating what happens within the motor system at the critical moment when a person freezes. By examining changes in corticospinal and intracortical control during gait initiation and freezing, we aim to identify mechanisms that could ultimately inform new approaches to treatment and rehabilitation.
You can read more about the project here. I also discussed the research on the Movers and Shakers podcast in their episode on freezing.
Pain, fatigue and long-term conditions
I am also interested in how pain, fatigue, anxiety and threat alter movement and sensorimotor control, and in developing mechanistic frameworks that integrate sensorimotor, autonomic and psychological processes.
I led the GW4 Community Studying Fatigue in People with Multiple Long-Term Conditions and am a founding member of the GW4 Biopsychosocial Pain Network.
Interdisciplinary research
My work crosses neuroscience, psychology, healthcare and engineering. I am a co-investigator on a £1.2 million UKRI-funded project investigating how people perceive and respond to low-amplitude movement in tall buildings. The project brings together human movement science, neuroscience, structural engineering and architecture to understand the human factors that may constrain the design of lighter and more sustainable buildings. locastproject.org
Across these areas, my aim is to use mechanistic experimental research to understand how the nervous system controls movement under challenging real-world conditions, and how this control is altered by disease and other physiological or psychological states.

Teaching
My teaching draws on my research expertise in neuroscience, human movement, neurophysiology and research methods. I contribute to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching within the School of Healthcare Sciences, with a particular emphasis on the neural control of movement, experimental research methods and critical evaluation of scientific evidence.
I also supervise undergraduate and Masters research projects across topics including movement science, neuroscience, pain, balance and gait.
I am a personal tutor to students across the Pre-Registration Physiotherapy (MSc), Physiotherapy (MSc), Advanced Clinical Practice (MSc) and Physiotherapy (BSc) degrees.
Biography
I have worked in world-renowned research laboratories across the globe, including the Neurophysiology of Movement Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder, the Virtual Reality and Mobility Research Unit at the Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital in Laval, Quebec, the Applied Neuromuscular Physiology Laboratory at the University of Colorado Denver, and the Whole-Body Sensorimotor Laboratory at the Institute of Neurology, University College London. Prior to my lectureship, I was a post-doctoral research associate within the Biomechanics and Bioengineering Research Centre Versus Arthritis here at Cardiff Unviersity.
