Kishoree Sangarapillai

Research Interests: Kish has completed her Master's and undergraduate studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. In her Master’s she conducted a clinical trial to delay the progression of Parkinson’s disease. For her Ph.D., she is interested in understanding how sensory and cognitive deficits in Parkinson’s disease contribute to gait impairment. She then wants to explore whether physical activity interventions can alleviate these symptoms. Understanding and treating gait impairments will help reduce falls, improve independence and the overall quality of life of people living with Parkinson’s.

Current Studies: She is excited to be working with the Brain and Body lab. She is looking forward to planning her studies.
