Dr. Hussain specializes in the analysis of human motion, with expertise in gait and balance assessment, fall prevention, sports performance analysis, and impact biomechanics. Her research experience spans clinical research, consumer health applications, and sports biomechanics. She integrates inertial measurement units (IMUs), force plates, motion capture to study stability, motor control, and injury risk.
Dr. Hussain's expertise includes the design and execution of studies assessing fall risk in high-risk populations, validation of wearable systems for continuous monitoring, and evaluation of rehabilitation and intervention strategies. She also develops algorithms for motion detection and analysis, fall risk assessment, and performance feedback, enabling the translation of biomechanics data into practical health, safety and performance solutions. Dr. Hussain is skilled in analytical techniques including nonlinear dynamics, feature extraction, statistical modeling, and time-frequency analysis.
Her recent work has emphasized the development and validation of wearable technologies for continuous health and performance monitoring. This includes gait and fall detection systems for wrist-worn devices. In addition, she has experience in advanced sports biomechanics by quantifying swing mechanics in various sports using IMUs and motion capture. She has conducted impact biomechanics studies using instrumented mouthguards and anthropomorphic test devices to characterize head loading during sports collisions.
