Professional Interests:

My research interest is focused on conducting randomized controlled studies, investigating effectiveness of shoulder rehabilitative exercise in people with painful shoulders. My teaching interests include kinesiology, differential disgnosis and rehabilitation for musculoskeletal disorders of extremities. I also maintain clinical practice in out-patient orthopedic clinic. I believe clinical experience is important for physical therapists who are teaching clincial courses in academic setting. Please review my curriculum vitae for more details.
