Professional Interest
My clinical interests are in the areas of chronic disease and exercise intervention with the focus primarily on how these affect skeletal muscle. I am also interested in aspects of electrotherapy, again primarily regarding the affect on skeletal muscle. My research interests focus on understanding the affects of chronic diseases (e.g. Spinal Cord Injury, HIV infection, Type II Diabetes) on muscle performance and exploring ways in which exercise interventions can be used to offset impairments and loss of function associated with these diseases.
