Dr. Peter Jo, a professor of Anatomy and Physiology at NOVA’s Annandale campus, shared his dissertation research on the recovery of motor control in patients who suffered from stroke. To a packed crowd of faculty and students, he established a strong case of the inadequacy of current rehabilitation techniques to account for all the complexities of the recovery process that involves not only mere regaining of muscle strength but a fine re-tuning of the nerve system circuitry. Peter’s research on the variability of movement in patients suggests that the potential for rehabilitation may be higher than currently thought, contributing to changing views in rehabilitation science.
