Mrc human movement and balance unit

Objective

Description:

With effect from 31.3.2001 the Medical Research Council Human Movement and Balance Unit ceased to exist and the Neuro-Otology Section of that group moved its staff and large scale facilities to new premises at Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London. The new Balance and Spatial Orientation Group continues to be funded by the Medical Research Council under the leadership of Professor Adolfo Bronstein.
The group's remit is to conduct research into human movement and balance in the widest sense of the term including the initiation and execution of movement and the control of movement and balance by visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive signals. Recent additions include research programmes and technical facilities for the study of the autonomic nervous system component in movement and disorientation. The group has special emphasis on understanding disorders which arise from neurological, oto-ophthalmological, and psychological disease and conducts a substantial part of its research on patients. The group's manpower comprises permanent clinically trained scientists and non-clinical scientists supported by technical and administrative staff.
Its uniqueness lies in the fact that the group possess many heavy duty, whole body, motion devices for the assessment of posture and balance, and that these facilities are located within a neurological environment.
