Watch a VIDEO interview with professor Li-Shan Chou who discusses research in the motion analysis lab, where Chou's team can detect changes in how a person walks in much greater detail than the eye can see. By using motion analysis, they've found it takes at least a month for a person to recover from a concussion and walk normally again. They're now developing therapies to help concussion sufferers recover more quickly.
