• Caregiver Burden in Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) – assessing psychosocial and functional impact on caregivers and exploring strategies for support and education.

• Sexual Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury – addressing sexual health, counseling, and functional interventions to improve quality of life post-SCI.

• Cardiac Rehabilitation – integrating exercise physiology, risk factor modification, and lifestyle interventions in comprehensive cardiac rehab programs.

• Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Research – studying post-TBI behavioral issues such as agitation and their management within a structured rehabilitation framework.

• Innovations in Orthotics – developing and evaluating customized orthotic solutions and adaptive devices to optimize patient mobility and function.
