Satyajit Ambike studies human locomotion and prehension across the adult age span. His research is particularly focused on how aging influences stability in movements and the ability to maneuver. He investigates these issues through the lens of synergistic control, a fundamental aspect of biological movements that reveals how errors become compensated by adjustments in different body parts during action. Dr. Ambike characterizes how synergistic control operates in prehensile movements and locomotion, especially when navigating environmental hazards. Through his work, he devises measures that serve as sensitive and accurate biomarkers for identifying locomotor issues in older individuals, including those with neuromuscular pathologies such as Parkinson’s Disease.
