Physical Therapist
I am a physical therapist at Ohio State where I serve as the Brain Injury Team Lead for ambulatory rehab. I treat a broad spectrum of patients with different neurologic and vestibular disorders, but have a particular interest in the brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke populations. I am certified in performing International Standards for the Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury exams and have specialty training in FES-powered systems, Bioness, ReWalk Exoskeleton, and Myolyn Myocycle. I am also a member in the following professional organizations: American Physical Therapy Association, APTA Neurologic Section, and Ohio Chapter.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
