BIO STATEMENT

I have been involved in technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation in Mexico and assisting in developing a tech gym for neurorehabilitation with colleagues there.
I have also received a CFAR pilot to do robot-assisted rehabilitation of HIV and Stroke in Botswana. Here we look at the development and use of our low cost system for assessment and rehabilitation of motor impairment after HIV -- especially those patients with CNS complications and Stroke.
