RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr Teo's research interests include:
1. How motor learning and control adapt across the lifespan and in clinical
conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease and stroke.
2. How the brain controls gait and balance across the lifespan.
3. Understanding mechanisms that drive neuroplasticity in healthy and
clinical populations.

Projects
Dr Teo is currently a principal investigator for 3 clinical trials that
includes:

1. Combined non-invasive brain stimulation and progressive resistance
training to improve gait and balance in people with Parkinson's disease;
2. Combined non-invasive brain stimulation and virtual gaming to improve
balance in people with Parkinson's disease.
3. The use of a STRoke Interactive Virtual thErapy (STRIVE) online platform
for community-dwelling stroke survivors.
