In this seminar, Dr Anthony Kay will present the findings of research currently being conducted at Northampton focussing on interventions designed to influence stiffness.

Dr Kay is an Associate Professor in Biomechanics within The University of Northampton’s School of Health. He has extensive experience of conducting, supervising, presenting and publishing research examining mechanical properties and neuromuscular activity of the MTC.
