RESEARCH INTERESTS:
The focus of my research is on developing a computerized adaptive testing (CAT) system of functional performance for patients with stroke. The CAT measurement system is used to help clinicians and researchers administer assessments in efficient and precise fashions.	 
Recently, I have constructed two CATs (balance and motor) which can be accessed at http://140.112.116.44/cat/
I have maintained a consistent interest in psychometrics and outcome measurements related to clinical research for patients with stroke. My long-term research goal is to develop a clinical excellence model to improve the effectiveness of occupational therapy for patients with stroke.
