Research summary
AI-generated

David M. Koceja studies how the human nervous system controls movement, posture, and balance, often by measuring muscle reflexes and electrical activity during standing and walking. Much of the work examines how factors like injury (for example ankle instability or concussion), aging, and physical training affect motor control. The research connects neuroscience with practical topics in exercise, rehabilitation, and sports performance.

Publication activity has been fairly steady over the past decade, with roughly two to three papers most years and some year-to-year variation.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
