I have a broad background in neurophysiology and biomechanics and have extensive clinical and research expertise involving motor learning and development in typically developing children and children with cerebral palsy. Our team has been studying hand motor control in healthy individuals and individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) for over 25 years. In a line of basic research funded by the National Science Foundation, we have been elucidating the nature of internal models underlying object manipulation by studying fingertip forces and positions during object manipulation.
