Research Interests:
Current rehabilitation practices to determine which combination of interventions are the most effective post-stroke. She is also interested in performing clinical trials of constraint induced therapy to improve arm and hand function post-stroke. Specifically Dr. Richards is investigating the potential of auditory rhythm training to enhance the efficacy of constraint induced therapy in persons with hemiparesis post-stroke.
