MEGHANA MUKESH

I am a dedicated physiotherapy clinician–researcher specializing in neurological rehabilitation, movement science, and technology-assisted assessment. My work spans both clinical practice and research, where I have developed skills in gait evaluation, cognitive–motor dual tasks, and standardized balance outcome measures. I have a strong interest in integrating wearable sensors, motor control principles, and functional rehabilitation to better understand mobility deficits in older adults and individuals with neurological disorders. I aim to contribute to innovative, patient-centered research through doctoral training.

My research focuses on how cognition influences motor control, particularly the effects of dual-task interference on gait, balance, and mobility in aging adults and neurological populations. I am interested in using wearable sensor (IMU) technologies to develop objective measures for gait assessment, fall-risk prediction, and rehabilitation monitoring. I aim to integrate cognitive–motor dual-task paradigms, postural stability testing, and sensor-based biomechanics to identify early markers of instability and support more precise, data-driven rehabilitation approaches.
