Floor slip resistance testing (tribometers)
Gait analysis and movement dynamics
Code compliance (ASTM, ADA, IBC)
Premises liability and safety standards
A contributing author to ASTM F2508-16e, the standard for tribometer validation, Dr. Lee-Confer’s work directly informs measurement of walkway slip resistance—a key factor in many slip-and-fall cases. He also played an instrumental role in Arizona Senate Bill SB1373, advancing fall prevention measures.
Dr. Lee-Confer holds a Ph.D. in Biomechanics from the University of Southern California, with specialized research in slip detection, motor control, cause of injury to anatomic...
