Sara Ahmed conducts research aimed at improving health outcomes for individuals with chronic disease. Her research includes studies that 1) address the challenges of using patient reported outcomes (e.g. health-related quality of life, self-efficacy)  in chronic disease management programs, and the use of advanced psychometric approaches for improving the precision and efficiency of outcome evaluations, 2) develop and evaluate the impact of chronic disease digital solutions interventions integrated into electronic personal health records (e.g. web-based asthma and COPD self-management applications), and 3) knowledge exchange and transfer related to best practices for chronic disease management.

Manuel Escalona, Ph.D. Candidate

[/fusion_text][fusion_tabs design=”classic” layout=”horizontal” justified=”yes” backgroundcolor=”” inactivecolor=”” bordercolor=”” icon=”” icon_position=”” icon_size=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” class=”” id=””][fusion_tab title=”About” icon=”fa-cogs fas”]

Manuel received a medical doctor’s degree at UCLA (Venezuela) and a master’s degree in Neurosciences from the University of Montreal. Currently, Manuel is a Ph.D. candidate at the Institut de réadaptation Gingras-Lindsay-de-Montréal (IRGLM). His research focus is on spinal cord injury and rehabilitation in humans using technology to improve recovery. More specifically, Manuel’s research aims at investigating the effects of different control options offer by wearable robotic exoskeletons on muscle coordination, i.e., muscle synergies, after an incomplete spinal cord injury. The results of this project may allow rehabilitation professionals to refine robotic exoskeleton locomotor training protocols and determine which exoskeleton control options are the best fit for individuals with spinal cord injury. Ultimately, this study offers a unique opportunity for ownership of this new technology in clinical settings and research.
