Professional Interests:   I teach in the areas of kinesiology and extremity orthopedics.  My research interests focus on motor learning principles, particularly contextual interference.  In the future, I would like to expand my research on motor learning principles to include other variables such as mental practice, multiple practice sessions and similar task vs different task to create interference.  Another area of research interest is analysis of shoulder musculature when performing task specific training and when performing basic therapeutic exercises.  I have recently completed a pilot investigation of shoulder musculature during therapeutic exercises, and would like to expand this research to include upper extremity task specific training with tasks requiring accuracy and tasks requiring speed. Please review my curriculum vitae for more details.
