In my lab, we are investigating force coordination in manipulation tasks, such as repositioning objects, or using tools and external supports. Our goal is to understand the control mechanisms underlying this coordination in healthy people, as well as the specific aspects of impairment of hand function in various groups of neurological patients.

Another direction of research is conducted in cooperation with other research groups. The main goal is to understand the role of body size in a wide area of testing physical abilities, as well as to develop a comprehensive set of methods for calculating body size independent indices of human performance.
