Professional Interest
My clinical interest is in the area of neurorehabilitation, especially with pediatric clients. My research interests focus on understanding motor coordination and the development or (re)acquisition of coordination in healthy individuals and individuals with neurological involvement. Ongoing projects include investigation of coordination of sit to stand and sit to walk in young children, and gait analysis of individuals using a stance control orthosis.
