Soham Al Snih, MD, PhD, Division of Rehabilitation Sciences Aging · Epidemiology · Health Disparities · Hispanic Health · Physical Function · Population Health Hispanic older adults need a way to be physically functionaly independently in a way that reduces disability and/or increases health related quality of life to ultimately reduce family and society burden of care. Dr. Al Snih's Research Contact Dr. Al Snih Amber B. Armstead, DrPH, OTR, BCPR, Dept of Occupational Therapy Aging · Brain Health · Fall Prevention · Health Disparities · HIV · Physical Function People living with chronic HIV need a way to manage their HIV-related physical and mental health symptoms in a manner that improves functional independence with ADLs & IADLs and reduces falls allowing them to successfully age in place. Dr. Armstead's Research Contact Dr. Armstead Diane M. Collins, PhD, OT, Dept of Occupational Therapy Aging · Fall Prevention · Physical Function · Rehabilitation Rehabilitation professionals treating aging persons being discharged or newly discharged from the hospital need a way to help family members reduce the fall risk of their family member in a way that is accessible and easy to use and prevents premature rehospitalization due to fall-related injuries. Dr. Collins's Research Contact Dr. Collins Steven R. Fisher, PhD, PT, GCS, Dept of Physical Therapy Aging · Physical Function · Women's Health Older women with urinary incontinence need a way to treat their condition in a way that doesn’t increase their ability to avoid falls and still enables safe participation in the life activities they enjoy. Dr. Fisher's Research Contact Dr. Fisher Lynne Hughes, PhD, PT, OCS, MTC, Dept of Physical Therapy Aging · Physical Function Older adults need a way to slow or reverse postural changes associated with age-related hyperkyphosis in a way that produces change quickly, prevents or reduces pain and diminishes the multidimensional related declines in physical function, activity participation, and quality of life. Dr. Hughes's Research Contact Dr. Hughes Muzna Khan, MS, RRT-ACCS, Dept of Respiratory Care Aging · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality · Lung Function · Physical Function · Population Health People recovering from Covid-19 need to have their pulmonary function monitored in a way that will allow them to find effective ways to reduce their shortness of breath and improve lung function. Ms. Khan's Research Contact Ms. Khan Mi Jung Lee, PhD, BSOT, Division of Rehabilitation Sciences Aging · Physical Function Clinicians and stakeholders need a way to identify patients at risk for functional decline, falls, and unwarranted institutionalization in order to support health-related strategies and policies that are tailored to foster independent living and promoting aging in place. Dr. Lee's Research Contact Dr. Lee Elizabeth Lyons, PhD, MPH, Dept of Nutrition & Metabolism Aging · Physical Function · Women's Health Older adult women need a way to improve their ability to participate in everyday physical functions in a way that is engaging and encourages sustained walking habits. Dr. Lyons's Research Contact Dr. Lyons Blake Rasmussen, PhD, Dept of Nutrition & Metabolism Aging · Muscle Biology · Physical Function Older people at risk for losing muscle strength need a way to prevent muscle loss in a way that restores functional movement and fits easily into their lifestyle preferences. Dr. Rasmussen's Research Contact Dr. Rasmussen José D Rojas, PhD, RRT, RPFT, Dept of Respiratory Care Aging · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality · Lung Function · Physical Function · Population Health Clinicians need a way to evaluate lung function in patients who are recovering from COVID so as to identify those with increased airway resistance and design approaches to reduce breathlessness. Dr. Rojas's Research Contact Dr. Rojas Melissa J. Yanes, MS, RRT-ACCS, Dept of Respiratory Care Aging · COVID-19 · Healthcare Quality · Lung Function · Physical Function · Population Health Post-COVID19 patients need a way to identify, manage and control their breathlessness with the support of Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) in a way that reduces their exacerbations and improves better control of day to day activities.
