Overview

I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a focus on improving physical function and quality of life outcomes for adult and older adult patients living with chronic illnesses. My goal is to assist UCSF in becoming a leading center of multidisciplinary prehabilitation services for adults and older adults awaiting surgery related to chronic illnesses.

Interests

Pre-surgical rehabilitation (prehabilitation), Chronic inflammatory diseases, Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia), Resistance Training

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
