GAIT DYNAMICS AND HUMAN MOTOR CONTROL

Russell's research interests lie in the increased understanding of the mechanisms of human movement. This includes the development of new methods for analyzing movements measured in clinical settings along with the development of predictive models which simulate the body’s interactions with the environment and offer insight to the control strategies implemented by the human system.
