Research Interests
Our work has spanned the development validation and efficacy testing of virtual environments and serious games for rehabilitation of mobility and fitness for persons with neurologic health conditions. We have combined movement, neuro and exercise science to explain and inform the design of interventions aimed at increasing mobility and participation in society. We are concerned as well with the transfer of technology and knowledge translation to enhance practice.
Current Projects:
1. Exercise Intensity Comparing Off the Shelf to Customized Videos to Standard of Care
2. Field Work Assessing Uptake of Customized Video Games in Practice
3. Open Rehabilitation Initiative (https://neurorehabilitation.m-iti.org/openrehab/)
4. ‘Kinecting with Clinicians’ (http://kinectingwithclinicians.com/)
