My research interests focus on all aspects of human movement and motor control and I am part of the Perception and Motion Analysis (PuMA) lab.

My primary expertise is in individuals with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) / Dyspraxia and I have worked in this area since 2001. Initially my research focused on understanding and describing the motor difficulties of this population. This built up my expertise in using 3D motion analysis systems to measure and analyse movement. More recently I have undertaken work which focuses more on the lived experience of this individuals in terms of road-crossing, physical activity and wellbeing.

Other strands of my research include:

Movement across the lifespan where I have considered the role of cognitive function in motor decline and road-crossing experiences.
The role of play, physical education and physical activity in wellbeing
Neurological underpinnings of both DCD and ADHD
