Yentes, Jenna Associate Professor
Positions
Dr. Yentes' research focuses on functional resiliency and reserve in older adults. Using objective measures of reserve, Dr. Yentes works to understand how resilience and reserve in middle-age can potentially predict non-normative aging in later life. Her training primarily focuses on gait and postural control mechanics as well as using dynamic systems (nonlinear mathematics) to quantify movement data.
