MyNCBI Bibliography | Research Interests | Video Introduction
I. General Research Interest
- Upper extremity recovery in stroke
a. Arm/hand use behavior in the daily environment
b. Critical factors (e.g., self-efficacy) that affect arm/hand use behavior post-stroke - Neural mechanism associated with stroke rehabilitation recovery
- Tele-rehabilitation
a. Wearable sensors (e.g., accelerometers)
b. mHealth technology (e.g., Ecological Moment Assessment, text messages, apps)
II. Current Research Projects
- A home-based, mHealth–assisted piano therapy to improve upper extremity performance in stroke survivors: a feasibility study (GSU internal grant funded).
- Dose-response relationship of active music therapy in individuals with stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
- The challenges of using accelerometers in the measurement of daily upper-extremity use after stroke: a systematic review
- Using mHealth technology in post-stroke upper extremity rehabilitation: a systematic review
III. Research Skills
- Assessments of motor, daily activity, cognitive, psychosocial functions
– Fugy-Meyer Assessment, Action Research Arm Test, Wolf Motor Functional Test, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Stroke Impact Scale etc. - Accelerometry behavioral data analysis
– filtering, binning, summing, converting, calculating etc. - Home-based study implementation
– assessments and intervention - Research project management and recruitment
- Quantitative research methodologies
- Statistical analyses (STATA, SPSS software)
– hierarchical linear regression - Basic programing (MATLAB)
