I. General Research Interest
- Neurorehabilitation after stroke or other brain injury
1. Hemiparetic upper extremity
a. Task oriented training
b. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT)
2. Physical and functional assessments
a. Fugl-Meyer Assessment for the Upper Extremity
b. Wolf Motor Function Test
c. Functional Test for the Hemiparetic Upper extremity
d. Stroke Impact Scale and Motor Activity Log - Knowledge translation
II. Current Research Projects
- TRANScranial direct current stimulation for POst-stroke motor Recovery – a phase II sTudy (TRANSPORT 2). In charge of standardizing all evaluators and maintaining ongoing fidelity of outcome assessment administration, and adjudicating all scores of the primary outcome measure.
- Taking Off Pounds after Stroke (TOPS) research study – In charge of Fugl-Meyer training and standardization.
III. Research Skills
- Research project management and recruitment
- Quantitative research methodologies
- Developing, implementing and evaluating interventions
- Teaching, standardizing administration, and monitoring assessments for research studies
