Allan Adkin is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at Brock University. His research program focuses on understanding the interplay of neural mechanisms, emotional, cognitive, and sensory-motor systems that underlie balance control. He provides information that directs the development of strategies to assess and manage balance problems in older adults and individuals with musculoskeletal and neurological deficits. His work investigates the effects of anxiety and fear on balance control strategies, examines effects of attention focus, and explores relationships between anxiety, attention focus, and balance control under threat. Adkin has published numerous articles in notable journals about postural control and the factors influencing it, including studies on anticipatory postural control and personality traits affecting balance outcomes. His extensive research contributes significantly to the field of motor behavior, balance, and gait in relation to aging and cognitive processes.
