Kimberly Hreha
Assistant Professor in OrthopaedicSurgery

Current Research Interests

My independent line of research has evolved to not only study spatial attention disorders, but vision impairments due to age and neurological conditions. The strategy of my lab is to use multiple methods such as secondary data analyses and intervention development, in order to close research gaps and ultimately improve the visual and cognitive health of aging stroke survivors.

Current Appointments & Affiliations
