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, and in strength and functional measures of individuals with post-polio syndrome. 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 review my curriculum vitae for more details.
