Educational Background:
Ph.D., Biomechanics and Motor Development, University of Nebraska Medical Center
M.S., Exercise Science, Miami University
B.S., Exercise Science, Miami University
Teaching Interests:
Biomechanics
Clinical Biomechanics
Research/Scholarships:
Dr. Haworth’s research focuses on the mechanisms responsible for the integration of sensorimotor information in the production of human behavior. He uses eye-tracking combined with motion capture and posturographic measures to identify motor strategies used during daily tasks like upright standing, walking, and interpersonal communication. Extensions of this work include the identification of early indicators of clinical disorders and the production of novel therapeutic modalities. He has many active collaborations with colleagues in fields including chiropractic science and pediatric rehabilitation technology. He is focused to better understand the development of motor and social-cognitive skills in children with, and without, autism.
