My goal is to improve care and care delivery for people with stroke and other neurological deficits. In pursuit of this goal, I've developed many “firsts” in neurorehabilitation, including novel clinical treatments and assessments that are now used internationally. I’ve published this work in numerous journals on about 130 occasions, and I was recently found to be the most impactful scholar in my field. Among other approaches, I developed and showed the effectiveness of mental practice, portable robotics, modified constraint-induced therapy, functional electrical stimulation, brain stimulation, and several other innovative strategies.
