DESCRIPTION:The [Musculoskeletal Control and Dynamics Lab](http://zaferioul
 ab.com/) at Stevens Institute of Technology has a mission to understand an
 d improve movement mechanics during activities of daily living and athleti
 c maneuvers. Dr. Antonia Zaferiou\, Director of this lab\, focuses current
  research on how people concurrently manage multiple mechanical objectives
  during complex and ecologically valid whole-body rotations. Working towar
 ds improving movement mechanics\, her team and collaborators have been dev
 eloping sound biofeedback to facilitate motor learning using “sonificati
 on”\, which conveys movement measurements through musical cues and sound
 scapes in real-time. In this talk\, she will describe how the lab is uncov
 ering strategies older adults use to balance during turning while walking 
 and developing adaptive sonified biofeedback to facilitate balance trainin
 g. This research includes critical goals to (a) personalize biofeedback so
  that it partners and adapts with each older adult’s motor behavior and 
 (b) compare turns in real-world environments to those performed inside the
  lab using wearable sensors.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Boston Section Technology
