Satyajit Ambike studies human locomotion and prehension across the adult age span, focusing on the influences of aging on stability and movement. His research is centered on the understanding of stability and maneuverability, particularly in how these antagonistic movement attributes can be adapted in daily living activities. Ambike utilizes a synergistic control framework to explore biological movements, identifying the natural errors that arise during actions and how different body parts adjust to compensate. His recent work includes characterizing synergistic control in prehensile movements and locomotion, with special attention to navigating environmental hazards. He has developed measures that serve as sensitive and accurate biomarkers for locomotor issues in older adults and those with neuromuscular pathologies such as Parkinson’s Disease.
