Associate Professor
School of Kinesiology (KIN)
Dr. Lam’s research program focuses on mechanistic and clinical studies to understand the role of sensory feedback in mediating locomotor adaptations and to develop and test the effectiveness of novel robotic-based assessment tools and gait training strategies. Dr. Lam is also the director of the Physical Activity Research Center, a community-based research gym that provides a unique platform for assessing and testing strategies to enhance participation in physical activity among people with SCI.
