Research Interests
Balance; Biomechanics; Microneurography; Neurophysiology; Postural controlDr. Inglis’s research focuses on human neurophysiology, the study of the nervous system function. He evaluates the sensorimotor control aspects of the human nervous system using a variety of neurophysiological techniques. His lab is the first in Canada to use microneurography, which records activity from a single axon of a peripheral nerve in waking subjects. Dr. Inglis also studies balance and postural control, including the contributions to movement made by the brainstem. He examines how standing balance and locomotion can be affected by manipulating sensory inputs, in order to better understand the role of sensory information in the control of balance and movement.
Dr. Inglis is an Associate Member at ICORD and a Professor in the School of Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia. He completed a B.Sc. at the University of Waterloo as well as a B.Sc. in physical therapy at the University of Western Ontario. His M.Sc. was obtained from the University of Waterloo, and his he attended Queens University for his Ph.D.
