"...As a scientist, I've developed and tested hundreds of approaches that assess or increase function and independence. Many of them are now used internationally.
I'm one the most cited and productive scholars in the field of rehabilitation and movement, having delivered thousands of lectures nationally and internationally.
I've been named a "Fellow" of the American Heart Association, The American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine, The American Alliance of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance, and, most recently, The American Occupational Therapy Association.
Finally, I perform service activities locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally, and served on numerous national and international review, advisory, and editorial panels. I also treat patients of all ages and patients with neurological disabilities throughout Central and Eastern Ohio.
I'm a lucky guy; I get to "live my mission" by developing and communicating the most effective approaches to improve patients' health, and I get to treat patients as a licensed clinician, which further informs my teaching and research."
