University role :

Conjoint Senior Lecturer

Dr Menant is a Research Fellow within the Falls, Balance and Injury Research Centre at NeuRA and a Conjoint Lecturer within the School of Public Health and Community Medicine at UNSW. She has a PhD in applied physiology / biomechanics from UNSW. Her research aims to investigate and improve balance, mobility, physical function and falls in ageing and clinical populations with motor and cognitive impairments. To this aim, she conducts experimental trials, longitiudinal studies and randomised-controlled trials.

Dr Menant is also actively engaged in research translation. She sits on the Executive Board of the Australia New-Zealand Falls Prevention Society and is currently leading the update of the Best Practice National Falls Prevention Guidelines for Community settings. She is also the co-editor of the International Society of Posture and Gait Research online Blog.

Research Interests:
Her research interests are threefold: (i) understanding risk factors for falls in older people and clinical groups; (ii) investigating sensory, cognitive and neuromuscular factors contributing to postural stability, stepping and gait in aging and clinical populations; (iii) undertaking clinical trials to determine the effects of exercise interventions on falls and other health outcomes in ageing and clinical groups.

Broad Research Areas:
Ageing, Physiology, Neuroscience, Gerontology - Geriatrics, Biomechanics

Qualifications:
BSc Hons, PhD

Specific Research Keywords:
Falls prevention, Sensory Mechanisms, Balance, Biomechanics, Human Movement and Sensation; Gait; Ageing;
