Research Statement
Dr. Li’s research is focused on the neuromuscular coordination of human postural control, especially postural stability during standing and walking.
Research Interests
- Biomechanics of human movement
- Aging
- Running injuries
- The effects of certain pathologies on human movement (especially peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, and cerebral palsy)
- Gait analysis
Ongoing Projects
- Core stability measurements and their effects on movement performance
- Running with knee pain
- The effects of different types of running shoes on running performance
- Nerve conduction velocity study related to people with peripheral neuropathy
- Neuromuscular mechanisms of contracture related to people with cerebral palsy
- The effects of locomotion on navicular drop
- The effects of diaper on baby’s gait
- Ultrasound measurements of muscle structure and the effects of stretch
