About
David J Clark, Sc.D., is a Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of Florida and serves as the Associate Chief of Staff for Research Service at the North Florida / South Georgia Veterans Health System. His research focuses on enhancing walking function in people with neurological impairments, particularly older adults and individuals post-stroke. His ongoing studies involve neurorehabilitation, neuroimaging, non-invasive brain stimulation, electrophysiology, and biomechanics. Dr. Clark has received notable recognition, including the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2019. He has also contributed to academic teaching, instructing courses related to research, clinical medicine, and rehabilitation science. His work aims to advance understanding and treatment of neurological impairments through multidisciplinary research efforts.

A consensus guide to using functional near-infrared spectroscopy in posture and gait research

reviewOpen accessExperimental Gerontology · 2023 · 103 citations
Changes in old age that contribute to the complex issue of an increased metabolic cost of walking (mass-specific energy cost per unit distance traveled) in older adults appear to center at least in part on changes in gait biomechanics. However, age-related changes in energy metabolism, neuromuscular function and connective tissue properties also likely contribute to this problem, of which the consequences are poor mobility and increased risk of inactivity-related disease and disability.

Cumulative stressors reduce the self‐regulating capacity of coastal ecosystems
Ecological Applications · 2020 · 73 citations
Marine ecosystems are prone to tipping points, particularly in coastal zones where dramatic changes are associated with interactions between cumulative stressors (e.g., shellfish harvesting, eutrophication and sediment inputs) and ecosystem functions. A common feature of many degraded estuaries is elevated turbidity that reduces incident light to the seafloor, resulting from multiple factors including changes in sediment loading, sea-level rise and increased water column algal biomass. To determ…

articleOpen accessAccuracy of electroencephalography (EEG) source localization relies on the volume conduction head model. A previous analysis of young adults has shown that simplified head models have larger source localization errors when compared with head models based on magnetic resonance images (MRIs). As obtaining individual MRIs may not always be feasible, researchers often use generic head models based on template MRIs. It is unclear how much error would be introduced using template MRI head models in ol…
