Pediatric Balance Lab
Assistant Professor Sandra Saavedra directs the University of Hartford's Pediatric Balance Laboratory, where she and her physical therapy students conduct research to determine which senses children use to stay upright. They analyze, in detail, how children without disabilities learn to sit, stand, and, finally, walk. They are also evaluating children with disabilities to understand how their development is different, with an eye towards creating new treatments in the future.
The lab is part of the Institute for Translational Research in the College of Education, Nursing and Health Professions at the University of Hartford.
