Jody Ann Feld
Assistant Professor in Orthopaedic Surgery
Current Research Interests
My primary long-term research goal is to reduce mobility disability, falls, and chronic sedentary behavior in people living in the community with subacute neurological conditions and in the geriatric population. I am currently serving as a site-PI for a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial for upper extremity stroke recovery (TRANScranial direct current stimulation for POst-stroke motor Recovery - a phase II sTudy. TRANSPORT2; 1U01NS102353; PIs: Feng, Schlaug) examining whether there is an overall treatment effect among 3 transcranial direct current stimulation dosing groups (2mA, 4 mA, and sham) combined with modified Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy. In addition, I am a co-I on a study examining musculoskeletal and cognitive resiliency following elective surgery in older adults and quantifying the association between predictive tests and biomarkers and the resilience phenotypes funded by National Institute on Aging (4UH3AG056925-03; PI: Whitson, Colon-Emeric).
