about us

Dr. Arunee Promsri is a lecturer and researcher in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation science at the University of Phayao, Thailand. She specializes in human movement science, biomechanics, neuromuscular control, and postural stability, with a strong emphasis on understanding the mechanisms underlying human balance, stability, and locomotion across the lifespan. Her research examines how factors such as age, body composition, leg dominance, and surface stability influence postural control and dynamic movement behavior, particularly in sport-related movement and functional assessment tasks. To explore these mechanisms, Dr. Promsri utilizes a wide range of advanced motion analysis technologies, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, wearable systems like RunScribe, optical motion capture (MoCap), electromyography (EMG), force plates, and low-cost technologies such as smartphones and depth-sensing cameras to analyze human movements. She applies sophisticated analytical approaches such as principal component analysis (PCA), sample entropy (SampEn), Lyapunov exponent (LyE), and cross-correlation analysis to investigate movement variability, neuromuscular coordination, and dynamic stability with high precision. Dedicated to bridging the gap between theory and practice, Dr. Promsri’s research aims to inform evidence-based rehabilitation strategies, injury prevention programs, and performance optimization techniques for both general and athletic populations. Her recent work focuses on dynamic stability during sport-related movements, such as running and single-leg tasks, highlighting phase-specific control mechanisms, adaptations to unstable surfaces, and the role of functional tasks in enhancing individual and sports performance. Dr. Promsri actively contributes to peer-reviewed Q1–Q2 journals, participates in graduated curriculum development, and mentors students in the rehabilitation and movement science fields. Her research reflects a deep scientific curiosity and a commitment to advancing rehabilitation and athletic performance practices by enhancing the understanding of the mechanisms that govern human movement and postural control.
