The goal of Jeremy Crenshaw's research is to development assessments and interventions to reduce falls and enable physical activity in those with neuromuscular impairments. He uses biomechanical analyses to identify the underlying mechanisms of impaired balance, targeting those aspects with exercise interventions.  His research has included older adults, stroke survivors, children with cerebral palsy, and individuals with lower-limb amputations.  He can discuss falls, balance, biomechanics, and the value of exercise.
