Rehabilitation Medicine

Our research includes people with neurodegenerative diseases and neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson’s disease. We use both quantitative and qualitative approaches to assess and understand the consequences of injury and disease from a lifelong perspective. Our focus is on these persons' impairments, activity limitations, participation restrictions, as well as life satisfaction and lived experiences.

As many of these conditions are progressive and cannot be fully treated, our long-term goal is to develop interventions that can support these people in achieving and maintaining the best possible life satisfaction. One area of special interest is the importance of physical activity for people with impairments and how exercise can be used as an effective intervention.
