Biography

Craig Tokuno is a Professor and Chair in the Department of Kinesiology at Brock University. His research focuses on neurophysiological and biomechanical control of human movement, particularly interested in how the central nervous system contributes to control of postural and locomotor tasks. His work has explored the neuromechanical mechanisms affected by age and neuromuscular deficits, providing insights into movement dynamics critical for various populations. He has published numerous articles addressing the impact of factors like age and dual-tasking on motor control and postural stability. His studies include examining the effects of foot cooling on muscle responses during balance tasks, the role of anticipatory postural control in threat perturbations, and the influence of handrail predictability on compensatory reactions to balance loss. Tokuno's contributions to the field are recognized in various scholarly journals, emphasizing the importance of maintaining motor function across different age groups and conditions.
