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. |
