| Professional Interests: |
I teach primarily in the neurological rehabilitation sequence in the entry-level/professional and post-professional programs. My research interests are in gait training (including use of the Lokomat) of stroke survivors, in strength and functional measures of individuals with post-polio syndrome, and in falling and fear of fallling in stroke and polio survivors. My clinical practice is as a consultant in the post-polio clinic at TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation and Research and in the in-patient rehab unit at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Please see my curriculum vitae for more details. I was recently awarded a $25,000 grant as principal investigator (PI) from Post-Polio Health International (PHI) for my study, Effects of Whole Body Vibration on People with Post-Polio Syndrome. Whole body vibration has shown early promising results with frail elders and people with various neurologic conditions in pain reduction, strengthening and bone density improvement.
