My research interests are in the assessment of the measurement properties of questionnaires and performance measures. I am also focused on the development of prediction rules to identify responders to physical therapy treatments.
I conduct clinical studies on the prediction of curve progression and the effect of exercises in patients with scoliosis.

Monitoring the nervous system during surgery can help make procedures safer for patients. I monitor children and adolescents who are undergoing corrective surgery for scoliosis to ensure that the neural connections in the brain and spinal cord remain strong during surgery. The goal of my research is to better understand the neural circuitry in the body so that we can refine and augment our intraoperative monitoring capabilities.
