Dr. Kesar’s research goal is to develop novel gait rehabilitation interventions and strategies based on an in-depth understanding of the neuroplasticity, biomechanical, and motor learning mechanisms underlying gait and gait training. Her work investigates the neuromechanics mechanisms underlying post-stroke gait rehabilitation strategies comprising treadmill training, functional electrical stimulation, and real-time biofeedback.
