Lianne Sanders

Lianne Sanders, MSc is an active researcher specializing in gerontology, neuroscience, and physical therapy with a focus on aging, balance, mobility, and cognitive function. Her research primarily examines dynamic balance assessment, fall prevention in older adults, and the relationship between physical activity and cognitive health in aging populations.

Her research interests span several interconnected domains including gerontology, neuroscience, physical therapy, and cognitive function. Sanders' work demonstrates a strong emphasis on practical clinical assessment tools for balance and mobility, particularly the innovative use of beam walking as a measure of dynamic balance. She has made significant contributions to understanding how physical activity impacts both motor and cognitive function in older adults, with special attention to gender-specific effects.

Sanders' publication history reveals a consistent focus on developing and validating assessment protocols for balance and mobility in aging populations. Her research shows particular expertise in studying patients with neurological conditions and dementia, examining how physical interventions can improve functional outcomes. The BEAM Multicenter Observational Study represents a significant methodological contribution to the field of geriatric assessment.

Sanders has collaborated extensively with international researchers across multiple institutions, as evidenced by her co-authorship on multicenter studies. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being for older populations.
