The University of Jordan has established a new research group focused on studying the relationship between body balance, physical health, and mental wellbeing, bringing together international experts in the field.

The "Balance Assessment and Rehabilitation" group will investigate balance and gait disorders across different population groups, with particular attention to sports-related concussions and vertigo.

The research will explore connections between sleep disorders, balance issues, and mental health conditions like depression and anxiety.

Dr. Alia Alghwiri, who leads the research team, said the group aims to develop new strategies for improving balance and mobility among elderly populations.
