Dr. Kesar’s research<\/span><\/span> 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.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
