معرفی
Dr Brook Galna is a Research Fellow at Newcastle University, specializing in gait analysis and neurodegenerative diseases. Her work focuses on Parkinson’s disease, dementia subtypes, and mobility impairments. She collaborates extensively with Professors Lynn Rochester, David Burn, and others on projects involving wearable sensors, clinical biomarkers, and rehabilitation strategies.
Her research investigates gait variability, visual scanning deficits, and environmental influences on mobility. Key themes include the role of cholinergic pathways in gait decline and the application of low-cost motion capture systems for musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
Recent studies explore wearable sensor feasibility for dementia subtype differentiation and pain trajectories in Parkinson’s. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates biomechanics, neuroimaging, and machine learning to advance clinical diagnostics and therapeutic interventions.
