Scientific Contribution
Annette conducted a pilot study in collaboration with the McGill University School of Physical and Occupational Therapy to examine the influence of the feet on the balance of older adults. This population group is the most at risk of fall-related injuries. The results showed improved postural stability upon stimulation of the feet.
Current research projects seek to validate the clinical benefits of this approach with three other target populations:
-Individuals with Parkinson’s Disease, in conjunction with the University of Montreal.
-Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder, in partnership with UQAM
-Athletes at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte.
