Areas of Focus

Peter Barrance, PhD, directs the Musculoskeletal Biomotion Research Laboratory within Kessler Foundation's Center for Mobility and Rehabilitation Engineering Research. Focusing on pediatric mobility, the Lab team has developed several systems that use wearable sensors to provide biofeedback on movement for gait training in children with brain injury. Lab researchers also focus on adult musculoskeletal pathologies, using advanced MRI and ultrasound to study joint changes and evaluate the use of state-of-the-art robotic systems to reduce pain and improve mobility.
