Speaker: Dr. Lora Giangregorio, Professor, Kinesiology; Schlegel Research Chair in Mobility and Aging

CREATE students receive a 1 hour Clinical Evaluations Module credit.

Please RSVP for this event. Please note that this event is only open to faculty, students and post docs.

Abstract: During this session we will discuss the building blocks for developing a program of research that supports leading a randomized controlled trial. We will focus on the things you might do before you launch a trial, like a systematic review, a needs assessment, or a feasibility or pilot study.

Bio: Dr. Lora Giangregorio, PhD is a Professor in the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo, and a Schlegel Research Chair in Mobility and Aging. She leads the Bone Health and Exercise Science Lab (BonES lab), which studies how to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture through better risk assessment and safe and effective physical activity interventions. She is a member of the Scientific Advisory Council for Osteoporosis Canada, with whom she collaborates on initiatives to improve patient and health care provider education related to physical activity and exercise. Her research team has worked with Osteoporosis Canada to develop BoneFit, a two-day workshop for exercise professionals on appropriate assessment and exercise prescription for individuals with osteoporosis. Dr. Giangregorio also led the development of the Too Fit To Fracture Exercise and Physical Activity Recommendations for Individuals with Osteoporosis, and is leading the Exercise Working Group for the update to Osteoporosis Canada’s Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Osteoporosis.
