I recently got contacted by a researcher at Loughborough University who is doing some work on ‘central nervous system predictors of balance and age related changes in ankle muscles’. Or, based on the understanding I took away with meeting with him today, understanding how signals that flow through the central nervous system between the brain and the muscles around the ankle might give some useful understanding of changes in our ability to move and balance. The primary purpose of my visit was to get a better idea of what is involved before inviting other people at church to sign up but, what better way to do than to sign up myself!
