A current focus of her research is identifying biomarkers predictive of ongoing symptoms following traumatic brain injury. That effort now includes the use of visual tracking, structural brain imaging, and functional assessments of vision, balance, and exercise tolerance to elucidate the specific consequences of traumatic brain injury, as a starting point for isolation therapy for individuals with ongoing post-traumatic stress disorder. More recently this included a study that identified the benefit of a graded exercise program for people unable to return to baseline levels of mental and physical functioning after mild traumatic brain injury.
