RESEARCH INTERESTS

My research has focused on developing/refining motor rehabilitation based on principles of neuroplasticity and motor learning for persons with stroke; most of my work consists of clinical trials of such interventions, using clinical assessments and kinematic analysis to measure changes in arm/hand function and TMS and fMRI to measure neural changes and to predict response to therapy. New interests include other populations with motor impairments and cognitive and visual rehabilitation.
