Research Interests

Dr. Cole’s research overall research goal is to improve movement dysfunction and community participation for those with falls risk and following neuromuscular compromise. He does this through investigating different afferent systems’ contributions to movement accuracy. His current research looks at movement during a cognitive load (Dual-Tasking), vestibular dysfunction and exercise dosage, and lower extremity muscle neurophysiology.  Dr. Cole combines degrees in both Biomedical Engineering and Physical Therapy, using his engineering background to develop new software applications in order to improve identification of movement dysufnction and monitoring dosage of therapeutic interventions.
