'Walking on scales and puppy dog tales: On-going projects in Liverpool’s gait lab.'
Bio: Dr James Gardiner is a Research Associate working in the gait lab of the Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease, at the University of Liverpool. James completed his PhD at the University of Manchester in 2011 on the aerodynamics and morphology of bat’s ears and tails. He has subsequently worked as a PostDoc at both the Université de Liège on bird flight and the University of Salford on prosthetic legs. He joined Liverpool in March 2017 and is helping to run the research activities of the Evolutionary Morphology and Biomechanics (EMB) lab.
Talk: During the seminar James will give an overview of the gait lab and the EMB group, as well as discuss some of the lab’s on-going research projects. These projects cover a wide-range of the biomechanics topics, from the effect of walking on different substrates on our muscle activity, gaze patterns and kinematics to the effect of knee implants on the gait of Labrador dogs, using bi-planar x-rays.
