Natalie Richer, PhD, is a faculty member in the Kinesiology and Applied Health department at the University of Winnipeg. Her research focuses on age-related changes in postural control, balance, and motor learning, with applications in reducing falls among older adults. She teaches courses such as KIN-2207 Physical Growth and Motor Development and KIN-3209 Motor Learning & Development.

Her research leverages high-density EEG to explore brain activity during standing and walking, examining how cognitive tasks modulate stability. Key themes include dual-task performance, age-related neural adaptations, and the role of automaticity in postural control. Recent publications address gait speed, terrain adaptation, and artifact removal in mobile EEG studies.
Natalie’s work emphasizes the intersection of biomechanics, neuroscience, and aging. She investigates how attentional focus impacts balance and uses robotic platforms to validate neuroimaging techniques. Despite no explicit awards listed, her contributions span methodological advancements and clinical insights for older adult mobility.
