Her translational biomedical research focuses on objectively characterizing, understanding and monitoring mobility impairments in patients with neurological disorders with wearable sensors in order to develop tailored rehabilitation intervention, such as biofeedback-based solutions. She has presented at national and international meetings on topics related to balance and gait impairments in subjects with Parkinson’s disease and Parkinsonism, as well as fall risk in healthy elderly subjects. She received an NIH K99-R00 award from the National center for Medical Rehabilitation Research to characterize the physiology of gait disturbances during locomotion with body-worn sensors, and to determine whether vibrotactile biofeedback improves gait disturbances in Parkinson’s disease in laboratory and home environments.view less
