My primary research background and training is in neuromuscular physiology. Over the last 5-10 years I have been focused on applying this research to special populations, in the context of exercise rehabilitation. I have been involved in studies on the role of exercise in aging populations and in people with mobility impairments, specifically those with spinal cord injury. The efficacy of body-weight supported treadmill training as a method to improve a variety of health-related outcomes in people with spinal cord injury is a current area of research focus.
