Professional Interests:   I am interested in conducting evidence-based studies in electrophysiologic evaluation of nervous system in normal and pathologic conditions. Our current studies in motor control/ motor learning for patients with stroke, differentiating patients with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and dystonias using electrophysiologic techniques are example of our interest. Evaluation and treatment of patients with lumbosacral and cervical radiculopathy using H-reflex studies are another example. I maintain a clinical practice testing patients with EMG/NCV studies. My teaching interests are focused on Neuroscience, research application in physical Therapy and advanced neuro-evaluation and neuro-rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injuries and basal ganglia disorders. Please review my curriculum vitae for more details.
