The aim of my research program is to help people with neurological conditions improve their physical and psychosocial well-being. We use qualitative methods (like interviews and focus groups) and quantitative methods (like motion capture) to develop and test new rehabilitation interventions and understand how walking and balance are affected by neurological conditions like stroke. We are interested in how dance, music and rhythm can be used to help people with stroke improve their walking, balance, mood and social connection. We are also testing an intervention that uses visual feedback about the walking pattern to help people improve their walking function.
