Current Research Interests: Linda is currently interested in investigating leg power asymmetries and its relationship to postural instability and symptomatic fatigue in people with Multiple Sclerosis.

Prior Research Projects: Linda's Master's research involved investigating the role of blood flow in age-related resistance to skeletal muscle fatigue. She has also collaborated with the Motor Control Lab in examining the relationship of muscular strength and postural stability in people with Multiple Sclerosis.
