Wednesday 6th February 2019
Our speaker on 6th February was Dr. Kris D’Aout, a lecturer in musculo-skeletal biology at the Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease, Liverpool University. He studies the mechanics of walking on complex surfaces, the effect of footwear and how gait is affected during healthy ageing as well as in disease. His talk proved very popular and provided us with a record turn out which meant that unfortunately we ran out of chairs! Many questions followed the talk and many high heels and sport shoes will be thrown out as a result. We have spoken to Kris since regarding his need for older but healthy people to take part in his research trials and we might expect an invitation for volunteers to go to his laboratory to take part in these: watch this space.
