Increasing Physical Activity and Exercise with Dean Tudor-Locke

Exercising and being physically active can provide a wide range of benefits, but it can be challenging to return to an active life or increase your physical activity after a stroke or diagnosis with another neurological condition. This episode includes information on how exercise can help with neurorecovery, research updates on physical activity assessment, tips that can help clinicians, patients, or caregivers set realistic goals, details about new innovations for quantifying and tracking movement, and more.

Dean Catrine Tudor-Locke joined podcast hosts, Dr. Jyutika Mehta and Dr. Marie McNeely, to share findings from her own research as well as other exciting new advances that are relevant for neurorehabilitation. Dean Catrine is Dean of the College of Health Sciences at Texas Woman’s University and a renowned expert on physical activity assessment and promotion.
