Profile
Biography
Biomechanics researchers in the facility of Sports Rehabilitation and Exercise Sciences. I am a part of the Essex Longitudinal Study of Ageing Gait (EAGLES) research team. This study is looking at changes to gait and functional movement and health as people age. For more details see: https://mtayl70.wixsite.com/essexageinggaitstudy
