We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Protective Stepping Responses and Falls in the Elderly @ Northwestern University
The candidate is a Junior investigator and physical therapist presently conducting quantitative studies of balance and movement control as they pertain to the evaluation and restoration of functional movement in adults. His immediate long-term objectives are: to establish an independent research line dedicated to the study of movement dysfunction which impairs upright mobility in older adults; to identify age-related changes in functional movement control processes which lead to impaired upright mobility; to develop, implement, and test a comprehensive interactive systems model for the quantitative assessment of upright mobility in the aged; to identify patient specific and process specific interventions for the rehabilitation training of upright mobility in the elderly; and to test the efficacy of these rehabilitation approaches. The general hypotheses of this research are that protective stepping responses represent an important strategy for the preservation of balance in human bipeds, and that such responses deteriorate due to age-related changes in one or more neuromusculoskeletal mechanisms. Stepping response function among young adults and older individuals without and with a history of falls will be evaluated by examining muscle activation patterns, kinetic responses (ground reaction forces and resultant joint torques), and total body motion during intentional and induced stepping. The senior advisor and his research group are at the leading edge of Investigating fundamental interactive neural and musculoskeletal movement control processes and their applications to rehabilitation medicine. This approach has not previously been specifically applied to the multifactorial movement control problems which confront aging human beings. Close collaborations with the Sensory Motor Performance Program of the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, the Buehler Center on Aging of Northwestern University Medical School (NUMS), and the Division of Geriatric Medicine, (NUMS) will boost dramatically the applicant's research training efforts to advance physical therapy applications to problems of upright mobility in the aged. Additional training in operant conditioning based approaches to balance rehabilitation in the elderly will be acquired at the Rehabilitation and Training Center of Emory University which is a leading facility in the use of biofeedback rehabilitation.

Lateral Stability During Induced Stepping in the Elderly @ Northwestern University
DESCRIPTION: (adapted from Investigator's abstract) The long-term goal of this study is to understand the motor control processes underlying protective stepping for human balance recovery in older persons. Aging appears to present specific problems in controlling lateral stability. Impaired ability to generate rapid and controlled adductor-abductor muscular forces and postural movements may predispose many older persons to lateral instability and falls. This project focuses on the ways steps are generated to maintain balance under different directions of perturbed balance. Specifically, it will compare the ways younger individuals and active healthy community dwelling older persons control their body movements in response to different directions of postural disturbances. The authors propose that age-associated differences in frontal plane protective stepping patterns will indicate lateral instability in stance, and that these differences will be predictive of the risk of falling. This lateral instability may be associated with a reduced capacity to produce effective hip joint abductor-adductor torque-time responses to control frontal plane body motion and stepping. This may be reflected in impaired neuromuscular activation processes and/or in intrinsic changes in muscle contraction mechanisms. Identifying key motor control processes underlying protective stepping behavior as a function of age and future risk of falls will improve our understanding of the pathogenesis of disablement.
